PREFACE. 



APEEFACE to a book is an apology for its appear- 
ance in most cases. No apology for the appear- 
ance of this work is intended. None is necessary. 

A consideration of diseases only is given. A dis- 
cussion of the operations and questions of surgery is 
wholly omitted. To offer a comment upon the perform- 
ance of operations of a surgical character would be 
but to give encouragement to people to operate upon 
themselves and others. A destruction of life or 
wounding of persons would be the consequence, and 
the discussion would be wholly out of place in this 
work. A competent physician or surgeon should be 
employed in all cases where a surgical operation is 
necessary. 

The employment of a physician is unnecessary in 
a case of disease when the parent, or other person 
in the family is acquainted with the character of the 
disease. A knowledge of the character of the dis- 
order is all that is wanted in order to enable a parent, 
or other person, to administer a proper remedy. A 
plenty of alcohol and a box of common soda are. all 
the preparations for a disease a family can want. 
Any addition to these articles is a danger in the 



IV PREFACE. 

family. It is but a question of time when a doctor 
will give no medicine in any case. The practice of 
dosing is fast disappearing now, and in the past 
quarter of a century about one-half of the more pow- 
erful drugs have been abandoned. All the others 
will be given dismissal in another such period. A 
human constitution is capable of giving death defi- 
ance in every instance where death is not the purpose 
of the disease. All the disorders of the body are 
given defeat when the person is giving the world an 
assistance. A punishment of the wrong-doer is all 
that is accomplished with such person. A better 
practice and habit are wanted of one. 

When a complaint is not understood perfectly by a 
person present, send for a physician. Give the rem- 
edies described in this work when the doctor has de- 
scribed the disease. In a short time one-half the 
physicians will give a similar prescription. 

A division of the duties of curing the sick is to be 
made between the members of a family and the phy- 
sician. A doctor will be wanted only to discover the 
nature of the disorder ; a family can give the rem- 
edies. Every person can understand the articles 
of this book and comprehend their purpose. A 
technical term is not used, and one would be wholly 
out of place in the work. A better comprehension of 
creation than is now possessed by the scientist will 
render a great word useless in all places. A common 



PREFACE. V 

language is the proper instrumentality for giving ex- 
planation to a comprehended operation of nature, 
and a cloud only is in a pedantic or technical phrase. 
A mere obstruction to the understanding is a long 
and uncommon expression or word. A common 
word only is to be found in this work. A common 
and good people are offered the work. 

Every article and chapter of the work is original, 
and a particle of assistance has not been obtained 
from a physician or medical work. A physician has 
not been spoken to concerning it, and a medical 
wd*k has not been consulted, beyond the obtaining of 
the list of diseases as given by the medical profession. 
A word has not been taken from any publication, nor 
an opinion upon a disease or its cause from any 
author.

CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 



GHAPTRR I. 



WHAT IS A DISEASE? 

A consideration of the character of disease is an 
important part of a treatise upon the cause and cure of 
disease. All persons are in the habit of calling any dis- 
order of the body a disease, except wounds. A physician 
is giving a disorder of any kind the term, and a distinction 
of what is actually a disease is not carefully made in any 
of the medical works or discussions. 

A detection of what is a certain disease and what is 
but a weakness of the body, or an injury produced by some 
body or substance coming in contact with the organization, 
is the first step to be taken in the work of discovering a 
cause for the disorder called disease, and also of the 
injuries of the body which are but a weakness or hurt. 

A disease is merely a commencement of the operation 
of destruction of the body by decomposition and death. 



2 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

All diseases are a decomposition of a part or of several 
parts of the body in a greater or lesser degree, and a death 
of every part that is completely decomposed. The most 
particular description of a disease that can be given is 
the statement of the fact that a decomposition of a part or 
of several parts of the body is taking place, and death is 
inaugurated as far as any complete decomposition has 
taken place. 

The cause of all diseases is the punishment of a 
person for a bad habit or practice that incapacitates one 
for the greatest possible use in life, and to prevent its con- 
tinuance by a punishment, or it is a death for a useless 
person and appropriation of his soul to a useful work. 

The most important fact yet to be discovered con- 
cerning disease is the most useful and perfect control of 
all the cases of disease by a spirit of a person, and that 
the control is only for a good purpose, and always for a 
punishment or death of a person who is diseased. A 
statement of this character in a book upon disease and its 
cure is the most unfortunate affair that could be given in 
connection with the work so far as the medical profession 
is concerned and with a great portion of the people. It 
would be completely ignored if a competent discussion of 
disease could be made without disclosing the fact that it 
embraces. It is but an impediment to the good accom- 
plishment of the work, either with respect to its income 
or influence. The whole of the medical profession as a 
class are without belief in any of the phenomena of so 
called spiritualism, and all who are church devotees are 
hostile to any order of propositions that are giving credit 
to a spiritualist's claim. A spiritualist is only hunting for 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 3 

phenomena, and cares or only a show of this character. 
All classes are without the idea that in all the cases of 
disease an unseen person is the giver and controller of the 
commencement of death. A control is for the purpose of 
giving a punishment to a person of bad practice, or habit, 
or to cause death, as the person may or may not be of 
use in the world of human affairs. 

A cure of a disease is in no case a certainty beyond 
the decision of the question as to the usefulness in a 
world of mortal or spiritual existence, and only a disease 
that is given for the purpose of a punishment, can be cured 
at all, and it is then only permitted as a limit to the pun- 
ishment. 

In all cases, whether of infants or persons without 
good minds, a control of the disease is as complete as the 
control of a babe by its parent, and it is the most aston- 
ishing fact of all in connection with the diseases of small 
children and idiotic or insane persons that only a mere 
improvement of a body is made in the disease attending 
the person, and when a death is not the purpose of the 
disease. A drug has destroyed the organizations of many 
children who were diseased, but a sickness where a 
recovery has occurred was always an improvement of the 
system. 

This fact can be found to be capable of observation 
by a watching of all such cases, and it is equally a fact in 
respect to the diseases of the persons of insufficient or dis- 
ordered minds. A child is given scarlet fever or measles 
or whooping cough ; a fever is the present consequence of 
the disease merely. The accomplishment of the first two 
diseases is but a removal from the body of a mass of use- 



4 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

less cells beyond what are wanted in the tissues. Every 
plant is discharging its waste cells in a similar way when- 
ever a gum is upon the bark of it. The gum is but a 
waste cell thrown upon the surface. 

In all cases of disease in infants a clearing of the body 
only of bad substance is made when the disease is per- 
mitted a cure. 

A fever of the system is always given removal in an 
infant or small child when it is but a consequence of the 
closing of the pores. It is not always the case in grown 
people. When a child is only partly developed or is to 
become a curse to itself or others, it is, as a rule, given 
death, and without a parent or physician knowing it. 
Those who are permitted to live are barely for examples of 
imperfection and bad constitution for the community. 
"When a child has a diarrhoea or cholera morbus, a mere 
fermentation of the food in the stomach is produced, and 
for the purpose of giving the blood a discharge or a great 
quantity of water which is coming out of the pores in a 
hot season, and opening them so widely as to cause a 
chilling of the body and fever at night or in a cold day. 
No physician can discover any cause for a disordered 
stomach in the child, and a cause can not be found other 
than that we are pointing to. The. whooping cough is 
obtained and all children possess the disease in cold cli- 
mates. A soul of a plant in the atmosphere drawn into 
the throat is producing the disease by an attraction of the 
water of the throat to the surface of the so-called nitrogen. 
The use of the disease, if it can be called a disease, is 
merely to expand a child's lungs, and this is what it does 
do. It is for this purpose. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 5 

When a child has a cold by a contraction of its pores 
a fever is produced, and this disease, if it is called a dis- 
ease, is but a checking of growth for a few hours or a few 
days. A death of a child by a cold is never seen and it is 
never produced. When a grown person is in such a con- 
dition a cure is as certain as with the child, if a spirit is 
not fastening a disease that causes a decomposition of the 
body upon the person. A child is given a disease called 
diphtheria and it is often fatal. The sore throat is but 
aggravated by a spirit whose work is to take the child 
from the world, and when it is performed a physician can 
discover that all efforts to check the corrosion of the throat 
are useless, and that no cause can be found for it. When 
the child is given a meningitis of the spinal apex, a phy- 
sician is powerless to overcome the disease. It is not to 
be overcome, while in a grown person a similar disease is 
often destroyed. It is but a mere commencement of 
decomposition of the marrow in the spinal cord in the 
adult. 

The cure is only a discontinuance of the disorder, and 
the disorder is to punish and stop a bad practice. 

All the diseases of children are but operations to give 
them an improvement of the body, except where a spirit is, 
for a purpose, giving a destruction to their bodies. A 
physician can in all such fatal eases find a strange and 
uncontrollable continuation of the disease. A fatal dis- 
ease in a child is, however, no more a work of a spirit 
than it is in an adult, and it is only because deaths of 
children are more numerous than with adults that a com- 
munity is not observing the curious control of the diseases 
of children. A physician of good discernment does notice 



6 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

it, and it is a cause of great perplexity to Lira in many 
instances. 

Deaths by a want of food or good air or proper 
clothing are but destructions from a force of nature, and 
they are not diseases. 

All the great loss of life among children in the 
crowded cities is but a destruction of organisms by a force 
of creation, and it is the means of preventing a greater 
number of children being created in a point of a country 
than can be provided for by the people. A perfect reliance 
can be placed upon the forces of nature for a control of the 
abundance or paucity of children in any community, and 
it is all the while capable of observation among savages 
and half-civilized people. A thinning out of the community 
in places "where a chance is given is the cause of a popula- 
tion being coniniensurate with the means of suj>port 
afforded by nature, and this work is always performed 
amoug the more degraded classes. A chance is not offered 
among a capacitated commimity, for a control is there per- 
formed by the community iu a greater amount of produc- 
tions from the country or by a curtailing of marriage and 
procreation. 

A scare of the character that is often discovered con- 
cerning the overwhelming amount of population of a coun- 
try is only a whim. It is not possessing a foundation or 
eause of value. 

In the fatal cases of the adult population only a spirit 
control of a disease is ever performed, and it is, in fact, a 
species of trance upon the person. A death is actually 
expected by all who are thus given the control which in 
all ages and by every nation of people has been expected 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. J 

or conjectured, and which has been given the name of 
obsession in the English language. The old orders of 
priestcraft called it a control by devils, and a gospel 
contains the account of such a devil being driven away 
from a person by the good prophet of the Jewish people. 

Whenever a spirit is controlling a well person for a 
few minutes, the disease of which the departed mortal died 
is upon the so-called medium, and it is always given man- 
ifestation by a symptom, or more than one, of the dis- 
ease. This most common exhibition of a spirit power to 
control a person is all a physician can care to see to 
satisfy him as to the cause of the failure of his means in 
curing many simple diseases. The phenomenon is not 
observed by the physician or it would have been compre- 
hended a considerable time ago — and given discussion in 
the works of the profession. A mere want of attention to 
the wonder is destroying the opportunity to discover what 
the giver of death is in all cases of disease where death is 
the consequence. The most astonishing fact of all in 
reference to the character of a disease a person is possess- 
ing is the truth that a friend or member of the family of 
the sick person was afflicted with the complaint in all 
instances and it is only a want of knowledge as to who the 
spirit was while on earth that prevents this great fact being 
seen in every case of actual disease. 

The instances where the disease is known to be one 
that was destroying a member of the family or a person of 
considerable interest to the sick person are quite numerous, 
and the so-called hereditary diseases are all given in this 
way and without a single particle of the fact being observed 
by the family or physician. A constitution of the same 



8 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

character as that possessed by the deceased parent is the 
occasion and opportunity for the disease of the parent to 
he given to the child when small or afterward. A disease 
of any character that can cause the death of a person is 
impossible unless given assistance by the spirit of the per- 
son who died of tbe disease, and a disease capacitated to 
destroy a life is not in the catalogue of the medical library f 
and a proof of this is the fact that a person is always 
informed in advance of death what the consequence of the 
disease is to be when a death is the object of it. When 
a disease is given a person a force of the body is always 
sufficient to overcome the complaint, if it is not aided by 
an intelligent soul in causing death. The force of the body 
is always adequate to give a removal of a disease if it 
is not prevented by a power outside the body greater than 
the force. 

In animals this fact can be seen, and also the fact 
that all diseases of animals that destroy their lives are 
but the effect of a poison in the atmosphere or in their 
food or drink. Tbe only poison of the atmosphere that 
destroys animals is the so-called nitrogen gas, which is 
but a collection of the emanations from plants and ani- 
mals, and which are as much the souls and copies of the 
plants and animals that have perished as the much talked 
of souls of human beings are the souls and copies of 
human bodies. 

These phantoms from the plants and animal organ- 
izations are capable of giving the domestic animals, or 
some of them, a poisoning of the glands and throats, and 
it is performed in the same way that whooping cough is 
produced in children, and diphtheria aggravated, in all per- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 9 

sons who have it. (See Whooping Cough.) With these 
exceptions all animals are without disease, and a death, 
if premature, is the consequence of a force or object com- 
ing in contact with them. Horses are destroyed by 
abuses of a work of a driver, and the complaint is only an 
injury from the abuse. There is not in animals any 
actual disease at all, or possibility of any. Only a human 
being is given a disease, and in savages there are no more 
than with animals. This fact is of common knowledge. 

When a person is given a disease of which a parent 
or other interested friend died, a clever word is whispered 
in the ear that a cure is coming or a death is to close it. 
Every one except a child will disclose this fact, and a child 
will, too, if it is capacitated to describe its information. 
Many children do. 

The purpose of the foregoing comments is to give the 
reader a glimpse of the character and purpose of disease, 
and the impossibity of curing all of the disorders of any 
character, and the possibility of a removal of those which 
are but for a punishment of a bad habit or practice. The 
most that can be done in any case of disease is to give a 
limit to the disorder. A healing is always a work of a 
force in the body. A punishment is only limited by a 
proper dismissal of the complaint, and this is done only 
by a knowledge of the cause of the disease, and to obtain 
a knowledge of the cause of the disease is exactly what a 
disease is for. The knowledge is obtained that a bad 
practice or habit is giving the occasion for the disease, 
and that is what is needed to deter the continuation of 
the bad operation. 

When the continuation of it is stopped, the disease is 



IO CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

not again produced. All that a curable disease was ever 
given a person for was to acquaint one with the fact that a 
bad habit or course of life was incapacitating the person for 
use in the world, and when a cure was effected it was only 
on a discovery of the cause of the disease. If the cure 
was not obtained by any assistance of the body, the dis- 
ease was continued until the person was able to see the 
cause of it. The moment a cause was seen a cure com- 
menced. If the cause is already known, only a competent 
punishment is given by the duration of the disease. A 
particle of assistance in the way of a cure cannot be given 
tbe person, and such a person always knows it. One will 
usually say to the attendant or physician : "I know what 
the cause of the disease is. It will go off in a short time, 
and a medicine will do no good. I have had it before." 
A most competent admission of guilt is this. 

A word upon the disorders called diseases, which are 
but weaknesses of the body. A weakness is only a 
deficiency of the almighty influence called electricity in 
the body. A want of this power can exist and the body 
be wholly without disease or destruction of a cell or tissue. 
The cause of this want is the same as that of disease — a 
bad habit or bad practice. All so-called malarial diseases 
are of this character, and all of them are produced solely 
by a want of electricity in the atmosphere. A closing of 
the pores takes place where there is but little current in 
the body, and after they are closed a gathering of the cur- 
rent takes place in the whole organization, and when 
there is a considerable quantity, a burning of the organs 
commences, which gives a fever. When the current is 
still greater a pore is crowded open and the current 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. II 

escapes. The body then feels a chill and the pores are 
again closed. From the most meagre character of fever 
and chill of this kind to the dangerous and violent fevers 
of tropical climates, a mere want of electricity in the body is 
the whole of the disease ; the extent of the disease in every 
instance corresponding to the depth and dampness of the 
soil. All colds are of the same character, and only one 
closing and opening of the pores is performed where there 
is a good quantity of electricity in the atmosphere. 

A weakness of any character or from any cause is a 
want of electricity only. All weaknesses of the body are 
given a fever and chill in a degree, and it is only an evi- 
dence of a power of the current to give correction to the 
system that is given by a fever. When a dose of medicine 
is given, only a decomposition of a part of the body is 
produced. This furnishes a current which will assist in 
opening pores, and when it is performed a greater weak- 
ness is on the body. A use of quinine is but the most 
absurd thing in the way of curing a fever of a weak body. 
All that it does is to give a current of electricity to the 
body in a sudden and convulsive manner, and every organ 
containing a marrow is given a most active decomposition 
of the corpuscles of the marrow. The destruction is very 
great, and a great time is required for a renewal of the 
corpuscles or marrow. The current given by the quinine 
and generated by the decomposition of corpuscles gives an 
opening of the pores and a discharge of the water of the 
blood, but a consequence is a greater weakness and another 
closing of the pores. All that continues an opening of 
the pores when quinine is used is a greater activity of the 
centres of the nerves for a considerable time ; when a ces- 



12 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

sation conies, a closing is again performed. A careful 
watching of the effects of the medicine is sure to disclose 
this fact. 

The whole of the system is given a shock by the sub- 
stance, and only to its injury for a time. Quinine is but 
a strong soda, the ashes of a bark only, and the ashes are 
but finer than those of common soda. A crystallization of 
the substance is performed on account of the greater fine- 
ness of the ashes ; an attraction of the fine dust to the souls 
of the cells of the plant or its bark, as all crystallizations 
are. To give a strength to the body when it is wanted is to 
create a sweep of the electricity of the atmosphere around 
the body from the nostrils to the pores of the skin, and 
again through the nose to the body. There is no other 
possible way for the getting of strength, and it is only a 
question of months as to the time when all people will 
behold the great fact that a whirl of electricity of this 
character is the good contrivance for giving a body a 
development and a strength, and a construction of its 
parts, and a repair of its destroyed parts, and a conscious- 
ness and capacity of thought. Let every one who can 
comprehend this good operator of a person or animal or 
plant, always remember that in a circuit of the power 
called electricity that is coursing from the nostrils to the 
surface of the body and from there to the nose, is the con- 
trivance for giving a creature or person a power that is 
competent to perform the whole of the operations of 
developing, controlling and repairing the body, and that 
the current is but part of the object called God, and that 
it is a veritable picket of a mighty army of pickets that 
are obeying a command of their parent in the atmosphere ; 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 3 

that the current is an intelligent power, and that its intel- 
ligence is omnipotent in every part of the work it is given 
to perform. Let ifc also be remembered and the fact given 
the most profound consideration that a construction of a 
person or any organization is but a means for a constant 
separation of a part of God, and that when all the world is 
completely developed there is to be a human soul, and a 
space for its everlasting existence. Every operation of the 
good power is an intelligent operation, and it is always 
performed for a good purpose. It is never given a bad 
purpose for its operations, and all that a person is com- 
pelled to acquire before a comprehension of the fact 
is possessed, is a capacity for a good work only, and 
when this is obtained a bursting into view of the grand 
and most glorious fact that a very God is in every person 
and doing all that a power of the person cannot do, is 
made. As certain as a person exists, all the operations 
of a world of human affairs that are performed by a cur- 
rent of electricity only, are the operations of a Creator for 
the benefit of a human family, and they are beyond the 
power of a mortal to perform. Only a good and wise pur- 
pose of a life is needed to completely disclose this fact to 
the person. And a good and wise purpose of life is the 
consequence of a great current of this almighty power on 
the brain. 

A current is coursing in a circuit in all places where it 
is existing, only that a single amount of the influence may 
perform the same character of work constantly, and be 
utilized as constantly and as economically as the farmer's 
plough that courses a plot of ground in the operation of 
ploughing. A world of speculators have given the ques- 



14 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

tion as to the cause of electricity moving in a circuit a 
speculation from one corner of the world to the other, and 
without a particle of idea of what a circuit was for. A 
bigot of most disgusting arrogance and stupidity is giving 
a handicap to all who are possessed of a less amount of 
will, and this handicap is but a blind-board on every face 
that wears it. 

A world of speculators who are but fit to copy an 
opinion of a good teacher or a bigot are to be given dis- 
missal hereafter, and the most glorious fact is to be given 
the world that a discoverer of the operations of nature is 
the person who can decipher the operations of a will of 
the Almighty. An operation of nature is but the opera- 
tion of the will of the so-called God, and electricity is the 
will. From the day this work is in the hands of the people, 
to the day when a world is no more, a scientist, so-called, 
is not to give a community a disclosure of a fact or law of 
nature. A field is garnered of its problems, and a fool only 
is to look for a stub. The disgrace of being cheated out of 
all the opportunities for disclosing a portion of the handi- 
work of a Creator is upon the shoulders of a class who are 
to-day and ever have been using their faculties for a fame 
merely, and in this work by disclosing barely an appreci- 
ation of the disclosures of a few grand persons in days 
past. 

Now this chapter is closed by the admonition that a 
control of all the affairs of the world of matter by a power 
of creation is no more a fact than the control of all the 
affairs of a human family by the same power. The grand 
fact is to be given the reader that all that is in the world 
is as much under a control by an intelligent power as the

stones and soil of the globe, and the plants that are over 
them. 




CHAPTER II. 



EFFECTS OF MEDICINE. 

Since a doctor of medicine usurped the priestcraft in 
the work of giving diseases a treatment, a constant change 
in the character of remedies has been going on. Until 
within a generation, a change consisted of a different dose 
or different operation. A division of opinion upon the 
cause and character of diseases was one cause of a change 
of remedies. Another cause was a failure of applied 
remedies to accomplish what was expected of them. Still 
another cause was a wholly different conclusion concern- 
ing the nature of diseases and the means of curing them. 
A departure of a class of doctors from an old and common 
consideration of both disease and medicine gave a partial 
change to the old practice through the influence of a suc- 
cess of the new proposition, which was, of course, but 
limited. A number of such departures from the more 
popular methods operated to give still further change to 
the general practice. A following of the new modes for 
destroying disease gradually cou verted a plan into a sort 
of popular practice, and in these more recent methods a 
change was also made and some divisions were com- 
pletely established in their manner of treating disease. A 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 7 

further means of changing the old system of practice was 
a clearer conception of the character of the body and a 
clearer conception of the nature of a disease. 

A distinction of the class of medical practitioners is 
a matter of great pride with each different order of the 
fraternity, and a strife is carried on between the various 
classes for a distinction predicated on a knowledge of dis- 
ease and of the body, and a general course of practice is 
given alteration without hesitation, when a better remedy or 
operation is discovered. The older class is on the qui vive 
for a better dose and is willing to adopt it. The younger 
classes are changing their doses for a similar purpose. 
All are becoming skeptical as to the uses of any dose, and 
in the past quarter of a century at least one-half of the 
dosing has been abandoned by all professions. 

Homoeopathy dosers are a most welcome order of physi- 
cians to a great class of people. The practice is claimed 
to be a success by its advocates, and a table of cases is 
flourished in the face of all other classes to prove that a 
greater per cent of cures are effected by the curious operator. 

A water cure chiller and starver is equally confident 
a water and fasting can do all that is necessary to destroy 
disease, and he is giving advice accordingly. 

A Thompsonian is as confident an herb is the only 
thing that can give cure to diseases, and that it is only 
necessary to give the particular plant and enough of it to 
do the wonderful work. 

An allopathy or more general order of practice has its 
claimants, and they declare that all the devices for curing 
disease, except the homoeopathic device, are in some degree 
proper, and that a use of powerful drugs, including sev- 



1 8 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

eral mineral or metallic substances, are indispensable. 
This class is, as a general thing, the most malignant 
enemy of the so-called Hahnemann theory of cure, and it 
is because it is certain, as they claim, that it is only a fraud 
and without any foundation. The class admits that a 
virtue is possessed by a claim of the capacity of plants for 
a cure of many diseases, and also by the claim that water 
and abstinence from food will effect a cure in a few cases. 
All the medical classes except this one are becoming of no 
great influence in the community, and they are acquiring 
a conception that a more general observation,of the cause 
and cure of disease, is necessary. This is a fact in all the 
cities where a chance to discover the operations of disease 
and medicine is best. The doctor of any practice is now 
offered a chance by a spiritualist and electrician to observe 
what can be performed by a so-called animal or human 
magnetism and a current of electricity. A spiritualist is 
declaring that only a magnetism of another person is 
wanted to cure all diseases, and that a medicine is not a 
cure. This claim is given credit by a great number of 
people, and both the giver and acceptor of the proposition 
are without any idea of what magnetism is, or in what way 
it can affect a person or one's disease. It is supposed that 
this is of no consequence; a good complement of cures is 
pointed to as a proof of the truth of the claim. 

The applier of a battery is certain that a current of 
electricity can cure and heal all complaints, and that only 
a particular battery or character of current is needed to 
give any disease or injury a cure. No idea of the character 
of the effect of a current is offered beyond the claim that 
it can cure. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 9 

A clever woman in a pulpit of a superstitious church 
is giving people a still more astonishing disclosure of a 
process of cure, and it is exactly the same affair or char- 
acter of cure, as a priest of every country of the old world 
was offering, when a church monopolized the considera- 
tion of disease and gave its devotees to believe that God 
was curing all diseases through the power of a priest. 
This most wonderful assurance of a woman who is wholly 
without a knowledge of the fact that she is but reviving 
an old superstition of the darker ages of the world is 
accepted by a great class of people, and the superstition 
is again giving the more 'competent physicians an obstacle 
and defiance, and it is giving a community a chance to get a 
physician to give less medicine and do more with his will. 

The outcome of all the operations and doses for the 
removal of diseases is soon to be the plain and simple 
admission that all are of no consequence and should be 
abandoned. A conclusion upon this good conception will 
be that only an ignorance of the character and power of 
the body was giving opportunity to every class of practi- 
tioners for a speculation upon the question of cure. This 
conclusion is to be followed by a crowning conception that 
only a few cases of disease are fatal, and that all the others 
want but a mere increase of the force of the body, and this 
only to give a punishment of a person an appropriate 
duration. 

A particle of medicine is not wanted in any disease of 
the body, and a medicine cannot in any case do anything 
except what a food can do. Every drug of the phar- 
macopoeia can be thrown away and a common alcohol 
given its place. As sure as a dose of medicine has ever 



20 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

been given a sick person, a dose was never necessary. As 
sure as a dose is unnecessary a doctor of medicine can con- 
clude that his calling is but a locating of disease and a 
practice of surgery. When these few and simple facts are 
given acceptance, a world of sufferers from disease and 
injuries is given a cure without an injury to their bodies, 
and without a particle of expense except a single call of a 
competent anatomist or surgeon, and such a call will 
be only in one case in twenty of disorders. To establish 
these few facts a careful description of a possible effect of 
a dose of medicine is necessary, and also a cure of all 
disorders without a dose. The first shall be given in 
this chapter, and the demonstration of the fact of a cure 
without medicine must be obtained by a watching of the 
effects of disease when no medicine is given. 

The effects of a medicine are exactly the same, so far 
as an effect is obtained, as the effects of food. By this 
statement it is only intended that from either a food or a 
dose of medicine a corpuscle for the blood or a current of 
electricity for the whole body, or both, are obtained, and 
that nothing else can be obtained from either; that the 
difference between a medicine and a food is only in the 
extent of the amount of corpuscles and current of elec- 
tricity given the blood by them, and that in no case can 
anything be bestowed to the body by either except these 
things ; that all that can be accomplished by a current of 
electricity in the blood given by a food or medicine from 
the stomach is a strength for the whole system, and an 
increase of a current already in the blood, and which is, in 
the human body, as in every creature and plant, the con- 
structor and the substance of growth and repair. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 21 

The only performances of a current of this power in 
the body are the operations of giving strength to a whole 
or a part of the system, constructing cells by its own con- 
solidation, decomposing what object or part of an object 
that is without a current, and affording an intelligence 
and capacity for recording a mind's pictures upon its con- 
solidation in a chamber of the brain, and connecting a 
person with the current of the atmosphere and of a whole 
universe. Every operation of the power is an intelligent 
work, and in every instance of its accomplishment a pur- 
pose is served, and a comprehension is possessed by the cur- 
rent of the purpose and its connections with all else in a 
world or universe. This power is the object called God, and 
it is only this. Up to the present period of man's existence 
a disclosure of the actual character of electricity was not 
permitted;, and for the reason that a people was not on the 
globe who could comprehend the momentous fact that 
only a mind of a power without observable substance 
could be intelligent. At this time, when a sufficient num- 
ber of devices for the employment of the power is, in con- 
nection with observable phenomena in nature, operated 
by the power sufficient to give demonstration of the great 
truth, the curtain that covers the fact is pulled aside, and the 
world is given the final disclosure of the character of the 
wonderful performer of the affairs of a universe, and all the 
work of a human family which is beyond a mortal capac- 
ity to perform. This work of disclosure has been assigned 
to the writer of this book, and barely because a brain a 
good mother gave him was capable of being impressed by 
the monstrous and all important fact. A particle of pride 
is not given the author by the discovery, and a good to be 



22 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE 

accomplished for all classes of people is all that is giving 
encouragement to the publication of the work. 

A great and growing nation is to be the acceptor of 
the work in a day while the author is living, and a grand 
reward in the shape of the affections of the people will be 
given the writer. A fame is but the affection of a commu- 
nity, and it is never possessed except for a good work. A 
notoriety is not fame; it is a stigma of lasting character 
on a name of a wrong doer. 

A few comments upon the methods of affecting the 
body by food and medicine will be all the additional dis- 
cussion on the subject of the effects of medicine that are 
necessary. The stomach is given a quantity of food con- 
sisting of either plant or animal substance or of both. A 
small portion of the substance is at once decomposed, and 
by the decomposition furnishes a current of electricity that 
at once passes to the water of the blood and to every part 
of it. The passage of the current through the blood is as 
quick as a flash of lightning, and it is this influence that 
affords a hungry and weary person with immediate strength 
when a good meal of food is eaten. The removal of hun- 
ger and weakness while a meal is being devoured is only 
one office a food is compelled to perform. It is the first 
office. The other and second office is to furnish corpus- 
cles for the blood, and it is but a cell of either animal or 
vegetable food that constitutes a corpuscle when one is in 
the blood. A process of digestion is planned for the sin- 
gle purpose of giving the blood a great quantity of the cells 
of the food. The article on digestion must be considered 
in order to obtain a description of this process. It is 
unnecessary to give it again here. The object of this 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 23 

chapter is but to disclose the fact that a medicine is but 
a poor food and often a great injury. All medicines are 
only bad objects for a sick person, and it is only a want of 
cells in them that prevents them being good food. A com- 
petent digestion is giving the blood a sufficient quantity of 
corpuscles for all the purposes of the body, and at the 
same time a current of electricity for the general strength 
of the body. Only a separation of the cells of a substance 
from the broken down cells and fibrous affairs of the food 
is permitted in the selection of corpuscles for the blood, 
and it is a bestowal of cells that are complete to the blood 
through the thoracic duct that gives the blood its corpus- 
cles. A decomposition of the finer parts of the food in the 
stomach furnishes the current of electricity that gives 
strength to the body. In these two operations all is per- 
formed that can possibly be performed to affect the body 
by the action of the stomach upon substances taken into 
it. These operations are wholly capable of being observed 
and comprehended, and a physician of any practice will 
not for a moment pretend that a stomach is performing 
any other office. As sure as this comment is being offered 
a public, every particle of the faith a physician has or ever 
had of the efficiency of a dose of medicine was borrowed 
from a predecessor whose faith was a bare superstition ; 
as sure as this fact is the fact that no possibility exists of 
a physician ever discovering that a particular medicine is 
in any sense different from another, except in capacity to 
decompose in the stomach and furnish cells for a blood. 
A physician will not for a moment pretend that a cell of a 
plant or animal is different when in a dose of medicine, 
and no pretense will be made that a plant or animal sub- 



24 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

stance is anything but cells and fibre, or that a cell is in 
any sense a medicine. 

A mere observation of these simple facts, which every 
physician of the world will admit are undeniable, is a 
complete overthrow of all claim that a medicine, of either 
plant or animal substance, is anything but a food, and of 
course it must follow that only a difference in the quality 
of a food constitutes a medicine. The substance, of course, 
is different in different medicines, but only a plant or ani- 
mal cell, or a mass of partly decomposed and broken cells, 
or a fluid containing but water, and a current of electricity, 
is possible in any substance taken as medicine. All so- 
called metallic substances are but cells of a plant, in some 
condition of decomposition and consolidation, and a metal 
does not exist that is anything else. A coral cell, obtained 
from coral rock, or a speck of it in its decomposed con- 
dition, is the atom of every metal, and the cell is either 
whole and pressed together in one direction, as in gold s 
copper and silver, or it is in a broken and decomposed 
condition, as in iron or chalk. When the decomposition 
of the cell is great, as in iron, or chalky affairs, a great 
amount of further decomposition occurs when it is in the 
stomach, and the current generated by the decomposition 
gives the powerful stimulant to the body which all metal- 
he substances are doing when given as medicine. Only 
a capacity for these substances to decompose greatly, and 
a continuation of decomposition, gives them a power, 
ful effect on the body. Every one of them, of whatever 
name, is but a generator of electricity in the stomach, as 
a metal is a generator of electricity in a common galvanic 
battery, and the difference in degree of decomposition in 



CAUSE; AND CURH OE DISEASE. 25 

the two batteries is given by the difference in the strength 
of the acid in each, and the solidity of the metal. A mere 
glance at the effects of any metallic medicine is competent 
to satisfy any one that the amount of generation of elec- 
tricity from a metal in the stomach, is the degree of its 
effect upon the body, and that the current is the only 
thing that produces an effect. When a fine dust of a 
metal is placed in water, a decomposition is also produced, 
and the current in the water is the constructor of an acid. 
The acid is only water, and the electricity in it, and a body 
of water connected with it will at once obtain a por- 
tion of the current, and the whole will be a weaker acid. 
Now, in a current of electricity generated in the stomach 
from a decomposition of a metallic dust, a stimulant is 
obtained for the entire body, and it is barely a power of 
the good influence of all strength and creation. Not a 
particle of the metallic substance passes to the blood, or 
can pass to it except a speck of the metal actually cuts its 
way to the blood vessel. This is frequently done in the 
use of quicksilver or mercury. The whole operation of 
the metallic substance is in giving a current of electricity 
to the body through its decomposition, and the degree of 
decomposition is measured by the fineness of the particles 
pf the metal; in other words, it depends on the amount of 
decomposition given it before it is in the stomach. If the 
substance is fine enough, it will actually explode, and this 
is but an instantaneous decomposition. 

From what has now been stated, a good idea can be 
obtained of the consequence of a dose of medicine. It is 
either a food, giving a small number of corpuscles to the 
blood, or it is a metallic substance, giving a current of 



26 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

electricity only, and it is a small amount of the influence 
that is given the body by a food, on account of its decom- 
posing in the stomach only to a small extent. 

Every remedy, therefore, is a poor food, and a metallic 
remedy is a powerful stimulant. 

The conclusion, then, must be, that a dose of medi- 
cine is unnecessary if a stimulant can be obtained with- 
out it, and an answer to this question is the final disposi- 
tion of medicine in disease. Of course, a food is the sub- 
stance wanted, if it is only a corpuscle of the blood that is 
needed, but if a stimulant of much power is wanted, a bet- 
ter affair for its generation must be employed. The 
amount of stimulation is the first question to be answered, 
and when this is correctly decided, the character of the 
stimulant is easily found. A want of a current of elec- 
tricity in the body or blood is exactly the amount that is 
gone. This amount is what is actually felt to be wanted, 
and it is wholly obtained when a want of it is not felt. 
The idea that a stimulant must give an immediate strength 
to the body, and force a cure, is a great mistake, and it is 
never performed. A cell of the body must be constructed, 
and then filled with the current ; a cell is constructed from 
a current that is pressed out of the blood through a pore of 
a blood vessel, and the construction is but a consolidation 
of the current after it is pressed out. Now a construction 
of cells is as important as a current of the good power, 
and a chance must be given for a cell's construction. A 
puff of electricity is pressed through the pore of a blood 
vessel by a pulsation of the blood, and when the blood is 
well supplied with the influence, a puff is given a cell con- 
struction at every pulsation of the blood. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 27 

A most astonishing fact is now to be disclosed in this 
connection, which is to wholly overthrow the idea of a 
want of a stimulant of the blood at all, and it is a fact 
that none is wanted, and none can do any good, and none 
will ever be used when an operation of the blood is wholly 
understood. The blood is only able to force a puff of elec- 
tricity through a pore of the blood vessel, when a cell is 
in the blood and being decomposed. The blood is then 
filled with electricity, and it is pressed out in all directions 
through the pores, and then given consolidation into cells. 
The cells or corpuscles of the blood are the substance given 
decomposition in the blood, and a good burning of them 
while in the blood is the way they are given a condition 
of electricity. A current is wanted in the blood for a con- 
struction of cells outside the blood vessels, and the cor- 
puscle is given the blood for this purpose, as well as for 
others. As to the other purposes of the corpuscles the 
reader is referred to the chapter on reproduction. 

All that a stimulant can do in the way of assisting 
this work is in passing cells of the food from the stomach 
to the blood; in other words, in expediting digestion. 

The corpuscles are barely lifted to the heart and given 
a pouring into the blood by a current of electricity gen- 
erated in the stomach and attracted to the blood in the 
heart by the current in the blood, and which is great at 
this point, and because of a fresh supply of the current 
from the lungs just poured into it from an inspiration of 
atmosphere. 

No operation of the stomach can dispose of a cor- 
puscle after it is in the blood, and it is performed only by 
a current that is given the blood by a breath of the atmos- 



28 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

phere, and which is the force that is causing the blood to 
pass around the whole organization. A current that is 
pulling the blood around the system is doing the work of 
decomposing the corpuscles of the blood; when the blood 
is possessing a sufficient amount of corpuscles a proper 
amount of electricity is afforded the blood for a construc- 
tion of cells around the blood vessels, and a want of a proper 
sum of corpuscles is the so-called feeling of hunger. All that 
is giving an appetite to a person is the call of the blood 
for corpuscles, and the call is not only a feeling of hunger 
but a general weakness of the body. In a call of this 
kind, a certain indication of the capacity of the stomach 
for a digestion is found, and it will never fail to be the 
case that a digestion can be performed and the blood sup- 
plied with cells. A pulling of the cells of the food into 
the blood is a part of the process of digestion, and it is 
only a part. If there is no appetite for food there can be 
no giving of cells to the blood, and it is a fact now well 
known that eating without appetite is but giving the 
stomach a mass of substance for a work of fermentation, 
or for only a weight in the organ. 

From these facts it can be seen that a medicine which 
possesses but cells of plant or animal matter cannot be 
given to the blood, and for the same reason that a cell of 
what is termed food cannot, and in case of sickness of 
course all or a portion of the appetite is gone. 

If a cell of a medicine is given the blood it is but a 
corpuscle, and it is only giving the blood what food gives 
it. The other operation of a substance in the stomach, 
viz., giving the body a current of electricity by a decom- 
position of food in the stomach, is affected as much by 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 29 

appetite as the process of digestion, and a failure to obtain 
a current of power under such circumstances is in all par- 
ticulars as great as in the want of digestion to furnish a 
cell for the blood. 

When there is no digestion taking place, a particle of 
decomposition is not performed except what water can 
perform. Only a very fine dust of a substance can give 
water a current of electricity or be decomposed by water. 
In this fact is found an explanation of the fact that only a 
powerful substance, so called, can affect the body when all 
digestion has ceased. The powerful substance is but a 
very fine condition of a substance, and it is not of the 
slightest consequence what the substance was originally. 
The degree of fineness is the degreee of power; in other 
words, a capacity to be completely decomposed by water is 
the cause of a great shock to the whole body. 

In an acid the power is already bestowed to the 
water, and it is but divided between the water in the acid 
and the water of the body when it is in the stomach and 
on its way to it. Can a shock be given the body by a pow- 
erful substance, as it is called, when the person is sick? 
A physician can always answer this question in the nega- 
tive, and from a knowledge obtained by experience. The 
shock is but a passing of a current of power through the 
blood and out of the pores. When it is out it is in the 
atmosphere and it is given the body again in part by 
an inhalation of atmosphere around a person that is 
shocked. Another shock of less volume is given the body, 
and as often as a breath is drawn, until the current is dis- 
sipated in the atmosphere. A proof of this fact is found 
in the failure to give a person a considerable shock or 



30 cause: and cure; of disease;. 

stimulant when the nose is covered with a cloth, or is full 
of any substance of a soft character. The current is then 
given a turn into the air, and it is gone forever. 

A mouth must be closed when an anaesthetic is given, 
for a similar reason, and for preventing a person actually 
dying under the influence. A charge will be so great if 
the mouth is open a person will be destroyed in a min- 
ute. 

A good idea can be obtained from these facts that a 
shock or stimulant given a body from the stomach is 
but a coursing of electricity through the body and into the 
nostrils, and without giving a particle of strength to the 
body except while a current is whirling around the circuit. 
When the coursing is stopped a strength is gone until a 
current of the body can get into a proper condition of 
activity. No physician will claim that any permanent 
strength is obtained from a shock or stimulant. A claim 
is often made that the stimulant is to give nature a chance 
to commence its operations, and that when they are com- 
menced the stimulant is withdrawn. If this was a fact, 
an excuse would exist for the use of stimulants, and a per- 
son would be benefited by one, but it is not a fact, as we 
shall see. The stimulant at once destroys the operation 
of digestion and construction of cells, and every drunkard 
or user of alcohol is disclosing the fact in his condition of 
digestion and tissues. No power to create a tissue or give 
a stomach a performance of digestion is possible while a 
blood is excited by a stimulant, and a nerve is actually 
paralyzed in a measure while the stimulant is in the 
body. 

The most astonishing fact of this chapter is now to 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 3 1 

be given. It is the disclosure of the operation of a glass 
of common soda, given the name of bicarbonate of soda, 
and it is the only dose of medicine a person should ever 
take. This substance is but a white ashes, and it is only 
a fine condition of any kind of wood. The ashes are 
obtained by a burning of wood, first by fire and afterward 
by an alkali, and it is the prophylactic of a disordered 
digestion. The use of it is solely to prepare a bread or 
cake for digestion, and it is as well calculated to give a 
food in the stomach a still further preparation for diges- 
tion. This is exactly what it does, and it is a fact that 
it but converts a food into a condition that it itself pos- 
sesses. A copying of the work it has passed through upon 
the food is actually performed by it. A contagion of its 
own condition is given the food, and when the substance 
is in the food it is but giving the cells a separation in a 
condition they are existing in the substance itself. This 
operation is performed by a disintegration of tissues and a 
separation of their cells. The proof of this is to be seen in 
the action of the substance in a water when any vegetable 
or animal substance is placed in it. The cells of the sub- 
stance are given a separation, and the mass is actu- 
ally digested in the water. All persons can witness 
this performance in the use of the substance in baking, 
and all that is performed by the heat of an oven is 
the conversion of the cells into a species of or partial 
approach to sugar. A separation of cells and their con- 
traction by heat is the process of baking bread from a 
flour. A quicker contraction by the heat gives but a sugar 
from the cells, and this is seen in a contraction of a bread 
that is made of a corn meal. Such a bread is sweeter 



32 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

than that of wheat flour. A construction of sugar is only 
a contraction of the whole cells of a plant or animal, and 
it requires but a quantity of heat to give the contraction. 
The boiling of sap of a plant is a further contraction of 
cells in it, as well as a discharge of water from their sur- 
faces. Now in the performance of a soda in the stomach 
only a disintegration of the cells of the food is performed, 
and a generation of a small amount of electricity. 

A substitute for a work of stomachical digestion is this 
performance. A world of people are yet to discover that 
in a common soda a giver of strength and health is exist- 
ing in which a cure for every curable disease is found. 




• CHAPTER III. 



DISEASES OF THE BONES AND 
THEIR CONNECTIONS. 

Under the title of Diseases of the Bones and their 
Connections, a consideration of all the diseases and inju- 
ries of bones, their marrow, and joints, and accompanying 
cords and muscles, will be made, and in the order usually 
adopted by the authors of medical works. 



SOFTENING OF THE BONE. 

A great misnomer is the term given a change of bone 
for cartilage. All that occurs in the operation is a destruc- 
tion of the bone already constructed, and giving a carti- 
lage in its place. "When there is no bone constructed in the 
child it is only a case of rickets. (See Eickets.) When 
there is first bone and then cartilage, it is a change of 
one for the other, and the bone is only given a gradual 
and painless discharge from the body in a perfectly natural 



34 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

process of decomposition and discbarge of its substance. 
A want of cbance for tbe cartilage to consolidate is tbe 
cause of tbe disorder. Tbe marrow is furnisbing a decom- 
posed amount of its cells faster tban it can be converted 
into bone. The remedy, so far as tbere is any, will be 
found under tbe title of Eickets. 

A good demonstration of tbe fact tbat a creature hav- 
ing a great amount of marrow in its bones was tbe origin 
of tbe cbild possessing rickets, can be found in tbe fact 
tbat almost all tbe cases of rickets are in tbe country, and 
upon farms. A German and American community of tbe 
country are obtaining a majority of tbe cases of tbis char- 
acter. Savages are without the disease. A cow or ox is 
not among them. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE BONES. 

Properly speaking, there is no such disease as inflam- 
mation of the bone, and it is only a mere decomposition of 
utterly lifeless substance tbat is performed when the so- 
called inflammation is in progress. All tbe inflammation 
or pain is in the muscles and marrow, in contact with 
the bone, and without such connections no pain could be 
felt from the decomposing object. A bruise or break of 
the bone is sure to be followed by a considerable decompo- 
sition of tbe altered part, and until the particles of the dis- 
integrated portion are given a discharge upon the surf aee of 
the body, a corrosion of the flesh will follow. A cleans- 
ing of the opened route of pieces of tbe bone, and a band- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 35 

age of cloth kept saturated with alcohol, are the means of 
preventing a greater destruction of the flesh, and assisting 
a discharge of the pieces of the bone. 



NECROSIS. 

Necrosis of the bone is only a dead condition of a 
part of it, and the lifeless part is decomposing. The parts 
are disintegrating, and the mass increases in size barely by 
a separation of its parts. The smaller atoms, wholly 
separated from the mass, are discharged upon the sur- 
face of the body, and, in the discharge, the flesh is cor- 
roded all the way to the surface. In time the whole of 
the detached bone is given a decomposition and discharge 
from the person. The only proper way to get rid of the 
great mass is to have it cut out by a skillful surgeon, and 
the wound properly dressed. A washing of the inflamed 
part with alcohol is the allayer of inflammation and pain. 



RICKETS. 



A cartilage in the place of a bone in the limbs of a 
child is the disease called rickets. The cause of the 
cartilage is the absence of consolidation of the substance. 
The absence of consolidation is caused by a constant fresh 



36 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

supply of cartilage. A greater supply of cartilage than 
can consolidate is a consequence of a greater marrow 
in the limbs than in -well persons. The cause of the 
greater mar ow is a beast's soul that is given conversion 
into a human form. The beast whose marrow was so 
great was a cow or ox, and the mother of the child was 
incapable of giving the child a perfect construction. 

All that can be done for a child that is without bone 
in its limbs is to give it as little food as possible until a 
bone is constructed. A diet of what contains few corpus- 
cles is the means of accomplishing the deprivation. Fish 
and other articles of diet from the water will permit a bone 
to make its appearance. This diet should be continued 
for a whole year and with great care not to change it. 



KNOCK -KNEES. 

Knock knees is but a yielding of the knee joints in 
a child that is more bulky than strong. The bones are 
small compared with the other parts of the body and yield 
to the body's weight. It is always seen in very fleshy and 
overgrown children, and very fleshy people. A swine's 
face is on the person as well as the creature's legs and 
belly. A cheek of the same color and as red when shaved, 
is on one side of the face. A great digestion is given the 
human pig, and a great amount of good nature as a rule. 
A first-class citizen or a splendid plunderer of other people 
is always in the human copy. The difference depends 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 37 

upon the work of a mother in giving the person creation. 
She was as good natured as the child when it was 
developing and could observe a promise of a good 
child in her womb. The bad mother was all the while 
growling and giving her husband a rustling as often as he 
came into her presence. Her child is to-day in a State 
prison or in the dwelling of a millionaire. 

Only a straightening of the legs, as in case of rick- 
ets or the decomposition of the bones is needed in the 
knock-kneed child or grown person. 



CARIES 



Caries is but a single point of the bone decomposirjg, 
and it is a consequence of a want of force in a marrow to 
continue the construction of bone, — a mere decay for want 
of a new supply of substance. 



CLUB-FOOT. 

A club foot is but a partially unfolded claw and pad 
of a ferocious beast or great dog. The idea will not please 
the club-footed person and particularly if he or she is a 
courtier of a monarch, or assistant surgeon in an operation 
upon a club foot, but a consolation is obtained in the fact 



38 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

that all persons whose eyes are of a gray or bright brown 
color are only dogs or bears in human form. Only a 
greater operation was performed upon the claws and pads 
of the creatures who were giving a community the active 
eyes of the other classes and who also gave them a dispo- 
sition to do drudgery for other people. 

The clubbed condition is the want of a proper unfold- 
ment of the whole foot. The curving of the foot to one 
side is only the effect of the wall of the womb in giving it 
a bending ; a further development of the foot would have 
caused a room for it when it was straight. 

A cutting of the cords and muscles will straighten the 
foot and give it a considerable improvement, but it is a poor 
foot all the same and a weak one. Give a child a bet- 
ter development in the start by being moral while it is 
developing. 



DISLOCATIONS. 

A dislocation is a parting of the bones of a joint and 
continuation of the displacement. A sprain is the cause of 
the displacement, except when a decomposition of the bone 
gives it. A decomposition of a bone's end by a want of 
marrow in the bone, will so increase the size of the bone 
that the greater end will force itself out of its place, and 
produce a distorted joint. Such operations frequently 
occur when the so-cailed rheumatism of the joints is giv- 
ing a pain of long continuation. The dislocations occa- 
sioned by sprains should be given attention by surgeons 



CAUSE AND CURK OE DISEASE. 39 

only, and a risk of a proper setting of the bones should not 
be incurred by an inexperienced person. A distortion of a 
joint occasioned by a disease is checked by an improvement 
of the blood. A better marrow is wanted. And the blood, 
if good, can furnish it. A distortion already produced 
must be borne until the destroyed portion of the bone is 
wholly eliminated from the joint. This will be performed 
by a good current of electricity from the blood and mairow. 



BOWED LEGS. 

A curving of the legs is prevented by a strapping of 
the bowed portion of the leg to a straight bar of steel, or 
any unyielding bar of any substance. The lighter the bar 
the better. The straps should be gradually tightened as 
the leg becomes straight. A physician should control the 
operation. 



FRACTURE. 

Any break of a bone is a fracture. A physician of 
experience should always be consulted, and a sliver, if 
there be any, should be removed at once, and if a break of 
the whole bone is made, the setting should be at once per- 
formed. A person of no experience should not attempt 
the work, unless a physician cannot be got to do it. All 



4-0 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

the pain and inflammation following the wounds is of 
course a poisoning of the connected parts. A washing 
of the surface of the limb or over the bone with alcohol, 
and a bandage of the cloth wet with the liquor is the only 
proper remedy for the inflammation and pain. 



CURVATURE OF THE SPINE. 

A curvature of the spine is a bend in the whole of the 
spinal column. A cause is to be found in an explosion of 
the corpuscles of the spinal nerve before the child is born, 
or in a similar explosion in a person's spinal cord after- 
ward. A scared pregnant female is apt to so shock the 
spinal column of the offspring in her body, that an actual 
explosion of the corpuscles in the column of the child is 
caused. The consequences of the explosion are not 
observed until the child is of considerable size, and this is 
because an increasing weight of the body above the injury 
gives this part a pressing upon the other, and a curve in the 
weak point. A concussion of the spine, and the marrow 
of the nerve of a similar character, is produced by a fall or 
jump from an elevated position, and striking on the feet. 
An explosion of the corpuscles in the cord then takes place, 
and it is an explosion of exactly the same character as that 
of the corpuscles in the fat of nitro-glycerine, when a can 
of the substance is given a sharp stroke. A crook of the 
spine is often made by a practice of bending it in either 
a labor or position of the person, and the column is not in- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 41 

jured except in respect to its bend. The cure of the so- 
called lateral curvature is but a gradual straightening of 
the column by an abandonment of the bad practice, or by 
an instrument worn for the purpose. The cure for the 
exploded spine is a wash of the curved part with alcohol 
every day for six months, and a constant pressure, with 
a bandage upon the bulge, and by lying on the back in a 
perfectly level bed for the same length of time. The tight- 
ness of the bandage and pressure to be increased as a pain 
indicates they should be. A cure is possible by such 
means. The sooner the remedy is applied the better. 



SYNOVITIS. 

The synovitis is a disease of the joints, and it is only 
an inflammation of the membrane of the socket of one of 
the bones. It is a very painful and very dangerous afflic- 
tion, and will, if not cured in a short time, give destruc- 
tion to the joint. The cause is a decomposition of the 
bone itself, and it is all produced by a weak marrow in the 
bone. A severe pain is felt, and an inflammation of the 
whole joint is given. The disorder in the hip joint is 
called hip disease or hip joint disease, and a difference is not 
found in the two afflictions. The principal causes of the 
disease, or the causes of the weak marrow are masturba- 
tion, and excessive sexual indulgence. A robbing of the 
blood of its corpuscles by a discharge of them at the organs 
of reproduction, is the cause of the weak marrow. Any 



42 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

destruction of the good condition of the blood is also a 
cause for the disorder. A washing of the joints every day 
and night with alcohol, and giving the sufferer a good air, 
and good food, are all that can be given for a cure, and these 
are sufficient if the person is not so far destroyed in 
strength as to be unable to get food digested. All the 
joints are hable to be affected in the same way, and a dif- 
ferent name only is given the disorders. 



SPRAINS. 

A sprain is an unnatural bending of a joint, and it is 
a cause of most serious diseases of joints. A decomposi- 
tion of all the parts of the ligaments and muscles that are 
given destruction occurs at once, and it is the decomposi- 
tion that is the cause of inflammation and pain after the 
sprain has taken place. All that can be done is to wash 
the parts freely with alcohol and give the joint a com- 
plete rest. If any part of the joint is broken, a surgeon 
should attend to the wound. 



PALPITATION OF THE HEART. 

In palpitation of the heart there is a gas from the 
stomach coming into the blood at the heart through the 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 43 

thoracic duct. A poor digestion is the cause of it. Only a 
good digestion is wanted to cure it. (See articles on Flat- 
ulency and Dyspepsia.) 



ENLARGEMENT OF THE HEART. 

All glands of the body are enlarged when a greater 
volume of blood is in the blood vessels. The heart is but 
a gland given a condition of its substance similar to that 
of a muscle. All the muscles are but lobes of fat (cells pro- 
duced by growth) given a burning by a passage of blood 
through them. The heart is a lobe of corpuscles (cells of 
the food given the blood) constructed by a pressing of the 
corpuscles out of the artery where the sharp turn occurs in 
it. Blood is also pressed out and it is the blood that pro- 
duces a species of tissue in the heart as in a muscle. The 
difference between the substance of the heart and muscle 
of an animal eaten as food can be observed by the con- 
struction and taste of each. The difference is the same in 
all living creatures that have both muscles and heart. 
When the blood is so voluminous as to be capable of press- 
ing out a greater amount of corpuscle than usual, a greater 
gland is constructed. The fear of the consequences of the 
enlargement of the heart is a mere scare. It is produced 
solely by ignorance of the character of the work. Give no 
attention to the fact, and when it is seen that a good 
increase of the size of the heart is obtained, a brain and 
mind are as certainly increased. The brain is enlarged 
at the same time. 



44 CAUSE AND CURE OK DISEASE. 

Symptoms : In this change of the condition of the 
heart all the actions of the organ are temporarily disturbed 
and all the symptoms of all the diseases of the heart 
are felt for a short time in a small measure. The 
nose bleeds, and a singing in the ears occurs. A fullness 
of both heart and brain is felt. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE MEM- 
BRANE OF THE CHAMBERS 
OF THE HEART. 

Inflammation of the coverings of the auricles of the 
heart is caused by the same action of the blood as that 
which produces inflammation of the canopy of the organ. 
Both diseases can exist at the same time and often do. 
The cure is the same in both disorders. (See Inflammation 
of the Pericardium.) 



INFLAMMATION OF THE HEART 

When the blood in the heart is given a halt to 
any extent a decomposition of the heart commences. 
The decomposition is the cause of the inflammation. The 
halting of the blood is produced by a closing of the pores 
of the skin. A current of electricity that comes in at the 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 45 

nose and courses through the body and out of the pores of 
the skin is the transporter of all the blood from the lungs 
to the capillaries. The closing of the pores of the skin cuts 
the circuit of the current. A delay of the circulation of the 
blood is the consequence. When it is stayed in the heart, 
or what should be considered the focus of the current, a 
decomposition of the heart at once commences. Open the 
pores of the skin by a wash of alcohol or ammonia and a 
cure is at once effected. No other treatment is necessary. 
The symptoms of the disease are a chill, followed by 
a severe pain in the heart; a sensation of heat and sore- 
ness of the organ, and a great weakness and perspiration 
of the body. The pulsations of the heart appear to 
be very violent, because the heart is sore, and the whole 
nervous system is excited. The increase of the violence 
of the pulse is but partly as great as it is supposed to be. 



RHEUMATISM OF THE HEART. 

A want of electricity in the substance of the heart is 
the disease called inflammation of the heart. A want of 
electricity in any part of the body is a cause of rheuma- 
tism. There can be no other cause. The cause of its 
absence in the heart is a withdrawal of the heart's cur- 
rent to the stomach or brain. This occurs when the 
stomach is overloaded, or incapable of giving the food a 
decomposition, or when the brain is exhausted by over- 
work or any character of excitement. The disease is but 



46 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

a cramp of the organ, and it is gone when a withdrawal 
of its force is stopped. Giving the Drain a competent rest 
or the stomach a competent force from the nerves will stop 
the encroachment upon the strength of the good relay 
house of the blood. 



PERICARDITIS. 

Pericarditis is the inflammation of the membrane 
that encloses the heart. The membrane is called peri- 
cardium and it is a most pedantic term. Every mem- 
brane is a cm-rent of electricity given consolidation around 
a gland or other organ capable of generating a current. 
The canopy is only a puff of the influence given consolida- 
tion for the purpose of furnishing a covering for a delicate 
part of the organization. No more astonishing operation 
of a current of an intelligent power can be found in all 
nature, and no more astonishing evidence of the intelli- 
gence of the power is anywhere to be found than in these 
shrouds. Every organ of the body that requires a cover- 
ing for its protection is given one by the good current of 
what is but a portion of the Almighty. 

The disease of the gland is always copied on the 
shroud of the gland, and it is only a work of photo- 
graphing of the condition of the diseased organ. "When 
the heart is in a worn-out condition the membrane around 
it is given a decomposition and the operation produces 
inflammation. The complaint can be removed only by a 
good condition of the heart. It is seldom obtained. A 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 47 

person who is so worn by age and disease as to cause the 
heart to become diseased is well nigh the door of eternity. 
Only a competent and useful mind in the person's head 
will give any further duration of life. A good amount 
of rest and a plenty of out -door air are the only good 
means for giving the heart a better condition. The mem- 
brane will improve with the heart. 

The symptoms of the disease are a great soreness in 
the vicinity of the heart, and a considerable fever of the 
body. A pain is almost constant in the heart and a feel- 
ing of a degree of fever and heat in it is also had; a pulsa- 
tion of the heart is a cause of a sharp pain when the inflam- 
mation is greatest. The face is often the same color as the 
heart, and a faintness is felt in the heart's action. 



ANGINA PECTORIS. 

Angina pectoris is the same disease as the so- 
called rheumatism of the heart and it is produced in 
the same way. A person who is wasting his strength in a 
debauch or in constant use of alcohol can obtain this dis- 
ease. Every one who is disposed to it is carrying his 
head to the left and bending his body in the same direc- 
tion. A contraction of the great nerve that extends to the 
heart and stomach from the head is the cause. If the dis- 
ease is not too sudden and intense to be borne for a short 
time, a cure is effected by a swallow of any powerful stim- 
ulant and a snuffing of camphor or ether. Only a cessa- 
tion of all bad habits will give permanency to the cure. 



48 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

Symptoms : The first thing felt is a severe pain in the 
heart and then a sense of contraction of the whole left 
side and the left leg and arm. A pain then commences in 
the arm which extends to the brain. Sometimes a pain in 
the left leg is felt. Palpitation also occurs and the breath 
is about half destroyed. Dizziness and faintness are also 
felt. 



DISORDERS OF THE VALVES OF 
THE HEART. 

The valves of the heart are species of doors capable 
of swinging but one way. When they are closed the 
blood is prevented from passing in a backward direction. 
When they are open it can pass in the direction of the 
brain or artery that carries the blood to the head. Some- 
times a valve will contract and in so doing become insuffi- 
cient in size to close the orifice of the organ. Sometimes 
one becomes enlarged and will not open in a manner to al- 
low the blood an unobstructed passage. The contraction is 
produced by a withdrawal of the current of electricity in 
the valve. A mere shrinking is in every instance where 
the force of the body is withdrawn wholly or partly. The 
enlargement is caused by the commencement of decomposi- 
tion. It usually follows a contraction, but sometimes it 
will precede it. A bad circulation of the blood produces 
the decomposition when it is commenced without a con- 
traction of the valve. A contraction is produced by want 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 49 

of force in all parts of the body. A valve is not more 
contracted than the other organs. 

When a person is diseased, as in case of syphilis, 
a decomposition of the valves and other portions of the 
heart is produced by a portion of the syphilitic destroyer — 
the mere decomposition of the part of the heart affected. 
In the latter case no remedy is possible, a death will 
destroy the destroyer. When only a want of circulation 
or force of the body is the cause of the disease a cure is 
possible. It consists of getting sufficient strength. A 
plenty of food and good air will give the strength. 

The symptoms of the presence of valve disorders, are, 
first a buzzing, heard when the ear is placed at the chest, 
a constant whip-saw character of noise; a great deal of 
palpitation of the heart and a disturbance of all the blood- 
vessels of the body; a faintness more or less constant; a 
commencement of coagulation of the blood is in every 
blood-vessel that contains the blood that is returning to 
the heart from the capillaries. The pulsations of the blood 
are irregular. 



DILATATION OF THE HEART. 

The increase of the size of the cavities or auricles of 
the heart is only a consequence of the increase of the size 
of the heart, and no attention need be given it. A con- 
traction of the heart will sometimes cause an auricle to be 
extended, on account of a wall of the heart contracting in 
all directions, and thus opening a chamber of the organ 



50 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

wider. This is but a consequence of a want of the good 
force of the body, and in all such cases a contraction of all 
the body is performed. Get a good strength and the 
whole body is given its proper size. 



DYSPEPSIA. 

The disease called dyspepsia is but a bad diges- 
tion. The consequences are very numerous, and it is only 
to inform the sufferer when dyspepsia can be expected, as 
the cause of the disease supposed to be of a different char- 
acter, that a description of the consequences of indigestion 
is given. The want of appetite is the first consequence, in 
cases of ordinary dyspepsia; absence of strength is the 
next; a faltering of the brain and nerves is the next. 
Another consequence is a pain in the stomach or at 
every part of the body where a communication by a nerve 
is carried. A pain at the terminus of the nerve is felt 
when a disturbance at the stomach is sudden, and causes 
a current of electricity of the nerve to be absorbed by a 
bit of substance in the stomach. The pain is a with- 
drawal of a current at the end of the nerve where the pain 
is felt. A withdrawal or destruction of a current of elec- 
tricity from a part of the body is the only possible cause 
of pain. A loss of a great portion of the blood produces a 
pain all over the system. The cause of any cramp is a 
withdrawal of electricity from the point that is contracted. 
This is all that need be stated of the cause of the sharp 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 5 1 

pains in different parts of the body produced by a disor- 
dered stomach. 

A pain in the head from the disease is but a with- 
drawal from or a surcharge of blood to the head. The one 
is a consequence of the other. A withdrawal will be fol- 
lowed by a surcharge, and a shuffling of the blood from one 
organ to the other is a process for keeping both stomach 
and brain in as good condition as possible. The blood is 
given an attraction by the substances of each organ, and it 
is only a withholding of the blood until a pulsation is pro- 
duced that causes a sharp pain. A pulsation of blood 
when there is already more blood in the organs than usual 
gives the throb of pain that is so common. 

When the stomach is corrected in its work, a delivery 
of the brain from the great accumulation of blood is per- 
formed. Of course a good digestion will produce the 
wonted strength of the body. 

A weak nerve is the cause of a constant dyspepsia. 
A cure is in strengthening the whole nervous system. 



DIARRHCEA. 

The disease called diarrhoea is but a continued dis- 
charge of mucus and food by the stomach and intestines. 
The cause of the continuance of the discharge is a bad 
digestion. Any injury of the stomach that prevents a good 
digestion can cause the unnatural discharge. When a 
food is so badly operated upon by the organ of digestion 



5 2 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

that a considerable portion of it is either undecomposed or 
decomposed so greatly as to produce a gas and acid from 
it, a continuous creation of mucus is produced or an irri- 
tation of the walls of both the stomach and intestines. If 
the consequence of the bad digestion is a production of gas 
and acid, a quantity of mucus is certain to be created. If 
the indigestion is only a want of decomposition of the food 
an irritation of the organs only is caused. Water is then 
the only substance discharged by the organs. Mucus is 
possible only when a gas is mixing with the water. A test 
of the condition of digestion or of the amount of decom- 
position of food in cases of the disease is the condition of 
the discharged substance. All discharges from the stom- 
ach and intestines that are produced by a bad digestion are 
always either with or without mucus. The frequency 
and amount of discharge are controlled by the amount of 
irritation by, or amount of decomposition of the food. There 
will be no mucus in the discharges if there is only an 
irritation of the organs. The force of all discharges from 
these organs is a gas generated in the stomach and a cur- 
rent of electricity— a mere pushing of substance from the 
organs. All that any cathartic can perform is a creation 
of a gas that will push all substances from the stomach 
and intestines. It will, of course, both irritate the surface 
of the organs and cause a discharge of water into them. The 
same philosophy of giving a gun a discharge is operated 
in giving a stomach and intestine one. Only an explo- 
sion of a substance in the organs is performed. The per- 
istaltic motion of the organs is barely to continue a chang- 
ing of the condition of the substance in the organs. A cure 
for diarrhoea is solely in obtaining a good digestion. A 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 53 

dose of medicine is always an injury. A glass of soda and 
water is a perfect remedy. Let nothing else be taken and 
give the body a chance to become strong. 



HEARTBURN. 

A scorching of the gullet (oesophagus) by an acid 
of a disordered stomach, is what a great many are 
calling heartburn. A curious term for a consequence of a 
sour stomach. A decomposing food of a stomach is what 
produces a sharp acid, and the mere vapor of the acid 
ascending the gullet is what is scorching a wall of the 
organ. A dose of water and soda will protect a person 
from the scorching and give the food a good digestion. 
A work of digestion is barely a separation of the whole 
cells of the food from the broken parts and fiber of the 
plant and animal substance, and casting the whole cells 
into the blood at the heart. A disordered stomach is a 
condition of decomposition of all the food and operated 
without casting any portion of the cells into the circula- 
tion. A decomposition of this character is always a more 
rapid operation than what occurs in a proper operation 
of digestion. Either operation is assisted by a good de- 
pression of the wall of the stomach as often as a pulsation 
of the blood occurs. The wall is of the same character as 
an intestine and a peristaltic motion of the intestine is 
only a continuation of the motion of the compression and 
expansion of the walls of the stomach. A mere stirring of 



54 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the food hi the stomach is the operation. A most intelli- 
gent work it is. A brewer in giving a change to the 
position of a malt and causing a decomposition of the sub- 
stance is not a bit more an intelligent operator than a 
current of electricity in a nerve that is operating a malt in 
a stomach. All the philosophers of the world are unable 
to contradict this declaration, or discover a cause for a 
process of digestion, except in what intelligence there is in 
a current of electricity. An attempt at an explanation of 
any other character is utterly defeated at the start. A 
food can be decomposed so slowly that a want of sufficient 
substance for the blood is produced ; a weak nerve or an 
injured stomach is the cause. A cessation of an abuse of 
the stomach will produce a cure, and a strengthening of a 
nerve will do it. A charring of the walls of the stomach 
with alcohol is the most common means of making a poor 
digestion. 



FLATULENCY. 

A gas in the stomach is the complaint called flatulency. 
The gas is produced by a decomposition of food in a greater 
degree than by a proper digestion. The gas is but a quan- 
tity of small particles of food that are so light as to ascend 
in the oesophagus as a dust rises from the earth when a 
disturbance of its particles is made. If the digestion is 
properly performed there is no gas produced. Only a sep- 
aration of the whole cells of the food from the fiber and 
broken down cells is performed when a digestion is com- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 55 

petently performed. A kettle of boiling vegetable or ani- 
mal substance is capable of disclosing tbe philosophy of 
digestion to some extent, and the creation of a gas by a 
decomposition of the substance as well. A separation of 
the cells of the substance from the fibrous portions is per- 
formed by the action of boiling. The whole cells are cast 
upon the surface of the water, and they constitute the oil 
observed on the water. A gas is also produced to some 
extent. The gas is mixed with the vapor of the water. 
The water is also given a portion of the gas. A smell of 
the boiling substance could not be made if the gas was not 
given the water and vapor. The oil of the water is the 
whole of the substance that gives nourishment to the body 
when a soup is eaten. A digestion of the matter in the 
boiling water is partly performed by the boiling, and the 
casting of the whole cells upon the surface of the water is 
a perfect copying of a process of the stomach in casting 
whole cells of food upon the top of a digesting mass. A 
thoracic duct is a mere pipe for such whole cells to pass 
through in their ascension to the auricle of the heart. A 
pouring of the cells into the blood at the terminus of this 
duct is a fact. The duct is curved at the upper end for a 
pouring of its contents downward into the auricle. A bad 
digestion will often cause a bit of gas of the stomach to 
ascend the duct, and when it does a palpitation of the 
heart is produced, a flutter of the organ is felt, and it is 
the consequence of a discharge of a gas into an auricle. 
The gas cannot escape from the auricle except by its being 
converted into electricity. A gradual decomposition of 
the gas in the auricle will give it a conversion into this 
subtle power. When it is performed the current is 



56 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

absorbed by tbe current in the blood, and it passes round 
the circulation as the natural current does. If the amount 
of gas is great in the auricle, the death of the person is 
possible. If it produces death it is accomplished in a few 
minutes. A thousand persons are thus destroyed every 
year. A hotel is a capital place for destroying persons by 
this disorder. A generous bill of fare and a gluttonous 
disposition of it by a guest are the causes of so many cases 
of death in hotels in the night. Every great city is giving 
its newspapers a chance to describe a death of a person at 
a hotel froni heart disease every few days. 

A gas of the stomach is prevented by a good digestion. 
It is removed by a glass of water and common soda. 



CHOLERA MORBUS. 

A greater amount of what produces diarrhoea is tne 
cause of cholera morbus. A child is most subject to 
this disease because its stomach is weaker. In summer 
the disease is prevalent among children and in proportion 
to their ages. Only a want of sufficient power of the 
nerves of the stomach to perform a good digestion is the 
cause of a child's capacity for the disease. 

When the disease is upon the child, a mere cessation 
of its eating until it is capable of discharging of a decom- 
posing mass of food in its stomach is the first step to be 
taken. 

The next step is to administer only as much food as 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 57 

can be digested by the stomach. When a discharge of 
both mucus and water is stopped, a perfect cure is per- 
formed. In infants a dose of medicine is a most injurious 
affair, and it should never be given. All that is wanted 
is an opportunity for the stomach to become capable of 
disposing of the substance in it. This is accomplished 
when eating is stopped for a couple of days. 

In older children a dose of soda and water will assist 
in correcting the stomach. The patches of inflammation on 
the surfaces of the stomach and intestines are caused by a 
scorching of the organs by a heated gas and vapor pro- 
duced by a decomposition of the food in the stomach. 



ULCERATION OF THE STOMACH. 

Ulceration of the stomach is but a decomposition 
of the organ itself. It occurs after a person is so 
exhausted of electricity or strength that the glands are 
allowed no producer of life. The stomach is a sac con- 
structed of corpuscles when the person was in a mother's 
womb. After birth it is only stretched and given a filling 
of its interstices by corpuscles from the blood. In an adult 
it is constantly given a supply of fresh corpuscles as fast 
as it is deprived of them in the operations of the organ. 
When the force of the body is insufficient to give a cor- 
puscle to the walls of the stomach the organ commences 
to decompose. A decomposing part is the ulcer. 

A cure is in getting a sufficient amount of electricity 



58 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

in the body. Good food and air will give it; no medicine 
can. 

The symptoms of the disease are pains just below 
the breast bone and often running down to the navel. 
Indigestion and vomiting are always given by the disease, 
and, when the ulcer is large, blood is vomited. All sorts 
of pains are produced in the stomach. 



COLIC OF THE INTESTINES. 

Colic of the intestines is produced only by a pressing 
of a gas at one point of the intestines. The whole cause 
is only a bad digestion. A tardy and incomplete discharge 
of the substance of the organ is the cause of an accumu- 
lation of gas. Give a glass of common soda and water, 
and apply alcohol to the surface of the bowels. A cure is 
effected in ten minutes. 



COLIC. 



A production of a gas in the stomach is always the 
cause of a pain which is frequently called colic. A 
pressing of the walls of the organ by the gas is the cause 
of the pain. In every case of the complaint a cure is 
found by washing the body with alcohol or ammonia. An 
escape of the gas does not occur as a consequence of the 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE- 59 

washing, but a current of electricity in the gas does escape. 
A contraction of the volume of gas is thus produced. To 
prevent this kind of pain a proper digestion is necessary. 
A glass of common soda and water will correct the stom- 
ach. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH. 

The complaint of this name is only a burning of 
the walls of the stomach by a malt created in it. Decom- 
posing food is the malt. Alcohol is given the organ in the 
process and it burns the walls. Alcohol without food will 
harm them faster. Stop putting alcohol in the stomach 
in any shape. . A dose of medicine is not wanted. 

The symptoms are a pain in the organ and a consid- 
erable flatulency, a want of all digestion and a great 
weakness of the body. The night is passed in a partial 
sleep with dreams of a bad character, or without sleep, and 
an improper condition of the mind is always possessed 
during the disease. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE BOWELS. 

Inflammation of the bowels is produced by the same 
thing that produces the inflammation of the peritoneum, 
and it is cured in the same way. A dose of medicine is 



6o CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

unnecessary, and it is actually an injury. (See article on 
Peritonitis.) 

The symptoms of the disease are the same as in peri- 
tonitis, except that the pain is in the intestines; a most 
stubborn constipation is present but it should not be given 
a dose of medicine. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE RECTUM. 

The inflammation of the rectum is a consequence of 
the poisoning of its surface by a decomposing offal when 
the stomach is permitting a great portion of the whole 
cells of food to pass off undigested. The cells are easily 
decomposed and the current of electricity generated by the 
decomposition burns the surface of the rectum. The same 
operation is performed upon the membrane of the mouth 
by a decomposing tobacco in the mouth. A good digestion 
is a cure. Piles and an inflamed rectum are generally 
given together. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE LIVER. 

Inflammation of the liver is a commencement of the 
decomposition of the organ. The liver is only a mass of 
corpuscles squeezed out of the blood at the ends of several 
great blood vessels. All glands are constructed by a press- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 6l 

ing of corpuscles out of the blood at an end of or sharp 
turn in the blood vessels. Only a want of sufficient elec- 
tricity in the glands to continue their proper condition is 
the cause of their decomposition. The current of all 
power and life is acting with intelligence in every gland 
of the body, and when it is wanting in amount, a part 
of the gland will decompose. The cure is the same as in 
case of an ulcer in the stomach. (See chapter on Ulcer 
in the Stomach.) 

Symptoms are first a chill and nausea and then a 
fever. The urine is scant and yellow, and the skin is dry 
and hot. A heated and annoying condition of the entire 
region of the liver. 



CONGESTION OF THE LIVER. 

A congestion of the liver is a collection of blood 
in the organ greater than is proper. The cause is a 
greater amount of blood in the arteries and other blood 
vessels than is proper. A portion of the blood is pressed 
into the organ at all times, but it is only a small quantity. 
When a greater amount of blood is in the circulation than 
is wanted, all the glands are charged with it in an unnat- 
ural degree. A cure is a fasting for a whole day and a 
bath of alcohol. An opening of the pores is of the greatest 
consequence, and when they are open the water of the 
blood will be discharged. A couple of baths and a day's 
fasting will cure the complaint. 

The symptoms of the disease are languor, pains in the 



62 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

back and limbs, headache, nausea, and a dragging upon 
the right side while lying on the left, an enlargement of 
the right side, a hardness of its contents, with pain when 
a pressure is made on it. 



PERITONITIS. 

An inflammation of the membrane that covers the 
interior of the peritoneum is the disease called peritoni- 
tis. The inflammation is caused by a current of elec- 
tricity generated in the intestines, burning the surface of 
this panoply of the whole abdominal cavity. A person 
whose digestion is poor and whose action of the bowels is 
imperfect will be apt to possess inflammation of the good 
shroud of the whole of the abdominal organs. A simple 
current of electricity, a decomposing substance in the 
intestines generates, is the scorcher of the panoply. If the 
current is discharged it will not burn any longer. To dis- 
charge it, it is only necessary to wash the abdomen with 
alcohol several times in a day. In three days the inflam- 
mation is gone. All it is then necessary to do is to give 
the intestines a proper discharge of their contents by a 
good force of the body; good ah- and food, and a proper 
digestion are the means of getting a good strength of the 
body. 

The symptoms of the disease are a chill which is fol- 
lowed by a fever and general lassitude of the body, a pain 
in all parts of the abdomen and a constant attempt to 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 63 

vomit. All symptoms are gone in a day after alcohol is 
applied. 



ABSCESS OF THE ANUS. 

Abscess of the anus is but a commencement of its 
decomposition. A cure is getting a good blood and the 
strength that is gone. 



FISSURE OF THE ANUS. 

A rupture of the walls of the anus is continued 
until a hole is made through the surrounding parts, which 
permits a discharge of the bowels into it. A cleansing of 
the whole of the rectum and a wash as often as twice a 
day of alcohol diluted will cure the disorder. 



FISTULA OF THE ANUS. 

A fistula of the anus is but a continued perforating of 
the flesh where a fissure is developed. A surgeon is able 
to close the channel, and afford a discharge without 
injury to the appliance. Wash the whole with alcohol 
often. Dilute the fluid. 



64 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

DYSENTERY. 

The dysentery is an aggravated case of diarrhoea. It 
is nothing else. The discharges in this disease are 
often bloody because the burning of the surface of the 
stomach and intestines destroys the covering of some of 
the small blood vessels. A greater amount of electricity 
in the atmosphere than is common and which is produced 
by a great decomposition of vegetable substance, will pro- 
duce dysentery. The system is so full of the current under 
such circumstances that it is given in abundance to the 
stomach and a greater decomposition of food than is proper 
is the consequence. The great decomposition generates a 
great quantity of gas and electricity. A burning of the 
surface of the stomach and intestines produces the dis- 
charges and pain. 

A proper digestion is a cure. A glass of common 
soda and water is a competent remedy. 



JAUNDICE. 

Jaundice is a casting upon the skin of a mass of 
partly decomposed corpuscles of the blood. The yellow 
color of the skin, as it appears, is only a consequence of 
the presence of a yellow cell of the blood. A bare scorch- 
ing of its surface gives it a yellow color. A piece of 
white paper given a scorching will possess a similar 
color. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 65 

The cause of a want of a complete burning of the cor- 
puscles while in the blood is a want of a sufficient current 
of electricity in the circulation of the blood. If the cur- 
rent is sufficient it completely decomposes all the cor- 
puscles of the blood, and when this is performed jaundice 
is impossible. When the current is insufficient a scorch- 
ing is given only, and the blood becomes filled with the 
small globes. They are then gradually pushed on to the 
surface of the body and caused to decompose there. A 
smell of the person who is thus affected gives confirmation 
to this fact. A most competent remedy is a wash with 
alcohol every day and a glass of soda and water. Out- 
door air is all, besides the first named remedies, that can 
be wanted. 

The symptoms of jaundice are too well understood to 
require description. 



DROPSY OF THE ABDOMEN. 

A discharge of the water of the blood into the abdom- 
inal cavity is the disease called dropsy of the abdomen. 
The cause of it is a want of opportunity for the water to 
get out through the pores of the skin. A cold, or any con- 
traction of the skin will, if continued, produce this 
improper discharge of water into the cavity. A cure 
consists of barely getting the pores of the skin open; alco- 
hol or ammonia will open them by being applied to the 
surface of the body. A glass of soda and water is a good 
auxiliary in the work. The water in the abdominal cham- 



66 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

ber will go out by a process of absorption by the bladder. 
An opening bladder will draw it into the organ. The wash- 
ing of the body by alcohol or ammonia should be per- 
formed until the abdomen is cleared of the water. 

The symptoms of the disease are a swelling out of 
the whole abdomen without pain or fever, and a sense of 
great weight there; a constant and severe sickness of 
the stomach is experienced. 



HEMORRHAGE OF THE STOMACH. 

Only a rupture of a blood vessel in the walls of the 
stomach is the cause of the disease called hemorrhage 
of the stomach. An ulcer will produce the rupture and 
alcohol will also. A cure is in a healing of the stomach 
by a good use of the organ and giving the whole system 
strength. A dose of any kind of medicine is an injury. 



CANCER OE THE INTESTINES. 

The so-called cancer of the intestine is but a de- 
composition of the organ, a similar disorder to the ulcer 
of the stomach. The cause and cure are the same. (See 
chapter on Ulcer of the Stomach.) 

The symptoms are an intense pain at the affectedpart. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 67 

which darts in all directions upon a pressure of the abdo- 
men. A pale and yellow aspect is given the face. All the 
glands catch the disease and are sore. A nausea is always 
present. 



CANCER OF THE STOMACH. 

A cancer of the stomach is only an ulcer. The dif- 
ference in the order of disease is only in the celerity 
of destruction. (See Ulcer in the Stomach.) 



PILES OR HEMORRHOIDS. 

A sagging of a portion of a muscle and the rectum is 
the disease called piles. Only a want of a sufficient 
force to support a muscle and rectum is a cause of the 
most distressing disorder. A weak brain and nerve is the 
cause of the weakness in the organs that are giving the 
disorder. A case of piles is impossible when the' brain 
and nerves are in a proper condition. Any cause of the 
depletion of the strength of the brain and nerves will indi- 
rectly produce this complaint; when the brain is strong 
the disease is cured. 

A complete cure is as certain as the disease of the 
brain and nervous system is given a cure. A dose of 
medicine is of no assistance. The cessation of whatever 



68 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

is producing the debility of the body is all that can give a 
strength to the organization, except good digestion and 
good air. 



ULCER OF THE RECTUM. 

An ulcer of the rectum is but a decomposition of one 
point of it. It is a consequence of a weakness of the 
body, and is cured by a good strength of the body as any 
abscess is. Good air and a good digestion are the opera- 
tors of a cure. 



SPLEEN AND ITS DESTRUCTION. 

The spleen is a mass of corpuscles given existence 
barely to fill a space in the body. It can be removed with- 
out danger of destruction of life, and only a sinking of the 
surface of the body over the locality will occur. It was to 
prevent a sinking in this region that a spleen was created. 
It would actually be a brain if it was not filled with blood. 
All that causes inflammation of the affair is a want of suf- 
ficient electricity in it to keep it alive. It commences to 
decompose in such a case, and that is all there is of any 
inflammation. The remedies are the same as in the case 
of an ulcerated stomach. (See Ulcerated Stomach.) 

The symptoms are a dull pain in the left side below 
the ribs and a chill with fever following. The stomach is 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 69 

nauseated and in course of time the spleen is pressing 
against the surrounding parts of the body. A pale and 
depleted aspect is given the face and the whole body is 
weak. 



ENLARGEMENT OF THE SPLEEN. 

The enlargement of the spleen is but a greater press- 
ing of the corpuscles of the blood into the gland ; when a 
gland of any character is being enlarged by the process 
of pressing out of corpuscles into the organ, the spleen is 
given its portion of these cells of the blood. The enlarge- 
ment of the gland is of no consequence. The mere fact 
that its construction and purpose is not understood is all 
that has given any concern to the operation. No atten- 
tion need be paid it. 

The principal symptom is a swelling of the gland. 
Other symptoms are the operation of giving every gland a 
change in its condition and a considerable disturbance of 
the circulation. 



CONSTIPATION. 

Constipation is but a want of sufficient gas in the 
stomach to push out the substance in the intestines. A 
poor and slow digestion is the cause. Give the stomach 
an acid and the blood a plenty of electricity. The first is 



70 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

obtained from common soda and water, or what is equiva- 
lent, a partial alkali; and the other by being out doors 
several hours each day. 



RUPTURE OF THE WALLS OP THE 
ABDOMEN. 

A so-called rupture is a tear in the walls of the abdo- 
men great enough to permit an intestine fold or more to 
pass through it and press against the skin. Only a sur- 
geon can deal with a disorder of this character, and the 
sufferer should not be neglected an hour. 



FEVER. 



A general description of fever is of importance in 
affording a conception of the consequences of the coop- 
ing the electricity of the body. A cooping is always per- 
formed by closing the pores of the skin. A mere burning 
of the cells and tissues of the body by a current of elec- 
tricity that is enclosed in the body is all that produces 
the fever or heat; The heat and burning are always 
destroyed by an escape of the current from the body. 
When the pores of the skin are opened an escape is always 
performed. 

A bath of warm water or of alcohol is sure to open the 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 7 1 

pores to a great extent; a continuation of the opening is a 
cure of a fever. The practice of giving stimulants to cause 
a person, possessing fever, to perspire is a perfectly absurd 
way to open the pores. It is only adding heat to the body 
that a force can open the closed surface. The only effect 
of the 'stimulant is to create a force in the organization 
sufficient to force open the pores of the skin. After an 
opening is thus produced, a weakness is upon the body as 
great as the operation was violent. Let all who observe this 
explanation of fever remember that a washing of the body 
in a bath of warm water or by alcohol is all that is neces- 
sary to give a fever a subsidence. 

Under the different titles of diseases that are accom- 
panied by fever, a particular explanation of the cause and 
character of the fever will be given. 



SMALL- POX. 

Small-pox, scarlet fever and measles are the same dis- 
ease with different degrees of severity. A casting of use- 
less cells of the tissues on to the surface, and a burning 
up of those that are not cast out are all there is of either 
disorder. When a child is given the small-pox by a spon- 
taneous generation of the disease, a mere clearing of the 
body of useless cells occurs, and this is the case in the 
other two disorders. When it is given by contagion, a 
photographing of the condition of one body upon another 
is the operation, and it is but this. A dose of medicine is 



J2 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

not wanted and one cannot possibly do any good. A 
washing of the body with alcohol every few hours is the 
cure. Not even a glass of soda and water is wanted. 
The stomach is not given disorder by the disease except 
for a short time, and it is then corrected without assist- 
ance. The whole work is performed by a natural worker 
in the body, and very well. Keep the patient in a good 
air and in a cool condition. A fever of the disease can be 
be borne. A scar is not to be given the face if the alco- 
hol is properly applied. 



CHICKEN-POX. 

All the difference between chicken pox and small-pox 
is in the fact that in a child there is a small amount 
of waste cells of the tissues to be got out of the system. 
Only what will produce a slight amount of eruption on the 
head and upper portion of the body are cast upon the sur- 
face. This clearing of a child's body of useless cells is a 
guarantee of good health and strength of the child after- 
ward. A contagion of the disease is prevented only 
because a sufficient amount of decomposition of the sur- 
face of the body to produce a photograph of itself upon 
another person is not performed. A greater destruction 
of the surface of the child would cause a contagion of the 
disease. 

A remedy for the complaint is a good diet and good air. 
Not a particle of medicine is wanted. A child possess- 
ing the disorder can go out and play all day in the coldest 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 73 

weather without any danger of a fatal effect of the disease. 
The symptoms of the disease are a commencement of 
eruptions on the body of the same character as those in the 
measles, except that the eruptions are larger, and they 
soon are upon the extremities. They are dried up in 
about four days and the burned skin falls off. A slight 
fever is upon the person. 



MEASLES. 

All the difference between measles and small-pt>x is 
in the greater decomposition of a surface of the body in 
the latter disease. A change of the character of disease is 
possible by giving the patient a cold upon the body. The 
blood becomes poisoned in such a case, and it will corrode 
the whole body. The skin is thus frequently corroded for 
many years after the disease is out of the system. In 
some instances consumption follows as a consequence of 
the more excited blood. Sometimes abscesses of great size 
are produced upon the glands and more delicate parts of 
the body. 

A cure for the disease is a glass of water and common 
soda, and a continuous opening of the pores of the sKin. 
Nothing else is needed. 

The symptoms are at first almost entirely like those of 
the cold upon the body, and the sneezing and watery eyes 
are present. A fever then comes, of a mild character, 
and this is followed by an eruption commencing at the 
head and going over the body, as in case of small-pox. 



74 CAUSE AND cure; of disease. 

The eruptions are in all respects like those of the small- 
pox, except they are of a smaller character. The whole 
are gone in about eight days, and a good amount of fall- 
ing off of burned skin follows in a few days afterward. 



SCARLET FEVER. 

(See SrnaU-Pox.) 

The diseases are the same except in the amount of 
fever and decomposition of the skin. The cufe is the 
same in each case. 



BILIOUS FEVER. 

A bilious fever is a commencement of decomposition 
of the whole body on account of a cessation of the flow of 
cells of the food into the blood. A cell is given a stay in 
the stomach and it is pressed into the liver on one side of 
it and a yellow skin is given the surface of the body. A 
constipation is present and a fever is constantly increased. 
In hot climates it is so high death occurs often and the 
fever is given much acceleration by fright. A black vomit 
is only a bile of the stomach given a dark color by a burn- 
ing of its substance. The black bile is only a certain indi- 
cation that the person is about to give a death a conquest 
in the struggle. The cause of the disease is but a con- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 75 

traction of the pores of the skin, and a complete cooping 
of the current of electricity of the body. It is but a severe 
case of sick headache, and a person of sensitive nature 
who is exposed to changes in atmosphere is the usual vic- 
tim. To effect a cure in all cases of sick headache, bil- 
ious fever and yellow fever an opening of the pores is all 
that is wanted. Alcohol is the opener and a soda will 
correct a stomach. 



RELAPSING FEVER. 

(For Relapsing Fever see Typhus Fever.) 



ERYSIPELAS. 

A closed and parched earth will photograph its con- 
dition on the surface of a sensitive and active person; 
this is erysipelas. A considerable catalogue of diseases 
are the effects of a contagion by the earth. All of them 
can be seen to be but diseases of a ground com- 
municated to a person. A closed and burning skin is all 
there is of this disease. An opening of the pores of the 
skin is all there is of its cure. A bath of alcohol or 
ammonia and a glass of common soda and water will 
astonish the patient by their almost immediate removal of 
the disorder. 



76 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

In a season of the year when the earth is closed by 
cold and the surface is contracted and cracked by the con- 
traction, this disease appears. A bare contagion of the 
condition of the earth is the work. It is performed in pre- 
cisely the same way that a contagion of small-pox is given. 

The purpose of the disease is to give people a knowl- 
edge of the fact that a person can acquire the same condi- 
tion that the ground possesses, and that a watch must be 
kept for a bad condition of the soil. 

The swelling of the skin is only a greater expansion of 
its substance by a heat that is in it. The pain and swell- 
ing are both soon removed by a wash of alcohol. 



INFLUENZA. 

(See Cold.) 



HAY FEVER. 

This strange disease is but a periodical weakness of 
the body, and it is wholly prevented by a bath of alcohol 
and a glass of common soda and water. The mere absence 
of sufficient electricity (force) in the body to prevent its feel- 
ing chilly and to prevent a nose from containing the blood 
that is ordinarily in it, is all that is possessed in the way of 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. J*] 

disease by the person having this complaint. The cause 
of the disease is the great exhaustion of the person in the 
summer by over work or great exposure to a hot sun. When 
a shock of this character is obtained by the system, it is 
apt to be copied at the same period of the year by a par- 
tial shock of the body — a work of copying of a shock of the 
nervous system, as in the case of a child that is startled 
before it is born ; or of a pregnant woman who is so easily 
copying a fright she has experienced. The nose is dis- 
charging because a contraction of the affair is squeezing 
the water of the blood into the interior of the organ. All 
watery discharges of the nose are caused in this way. 

The disease is given a dismissal after the patient has 
washed his or her body with alcohol, about three times in 
as many summers, just as the chill is felt. 



YELLOW FEVER. 

The yellow fever is only an aggravated case of bilious 
fever. It is nothing but a more violent case, of the 
fever given a person who is not accustomed to the warmer 
climate. The name it bears has accomplished more in the 
way of giving death to a community than the disease 
itself. 

The cure is a washing of the body with alcohol and 
giving the stomach a correction as soon as possible. A 
case need not be fatal and one will not be if given this 
treatment. 



78 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

DENGUE. 

Dengue is a fever produced by a condition of the 
atmosphere and it is hut a very sudden case of bilious 
fever and only this. The cure is the same unless a cure 
is performed by the power of the body before a wash of 
alcohol is possible. 



TYPHUS FEVER. 

Typhus fever is a commencement of decomposition of 
the whole body only. A starved system is the cause. 
Only a plenty of food and good air is needed. A doctor need 
not be called except to give the description of the disease. 
The relapsing fever, so-called, is the same thing, and it is 
given a different name only because a doctor was thinking 
it was a different disease. 



TYPHOID FEVER. 

The typhoid fever is only a modified case of inflam- 
mation of the bowels. The disease is produced in the 
same way and it is cured in the same way. A soreness 
of the abdomen and particularly in the right side and a 
general fever of the system are the principal symptoms. 

A case of the disease need not endure for more than 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 79 

three days and generally not more than two. (See Inflam- 
mation of the Bowels.) 



FEVER AND AGUE. 

A want of plenty of electricity in the blood is the 
disease called fever and ague and every other disease under 
the title of malarial disorders. Only a constant operation 
of a current of electricity of the blood in keeping the whole 
body as warm and in as good condition as possible with 
the amount it is possessing is the fluctuation of heat and 
cold known as chills and fever. A single cell or tissue of 
the body is not destroyed where chills and fever or any 
other so-called malarial disease is all that is observed as a 
a disease. The so-called malarial fever is but a constant 
accumulation of the electricity of the body at the surface, 
and it is actually standing guard at a portal of the sys- 
tem in order to prevent a death of the person. If the other 
portions of the body were not given a, condition of chilli- 
ness by the absence of electricity in them, a person having 
the disease would be unconscious of the existence of a fever. 
The fever is so slight it is but barely noticed until a com- 
mencement of death is on the body. A death of a person 
is only given when the use of one is found in another 
world. A doctor is of no service with such a patient. 
The cause of a want of sufficient electricity in the blood 
is a want of it in the atmosphere. A deep and damp, or 
a viscid soil is the cause of a want of the influence in 
the atmosphere. A discharge of the current of the earth 



8o CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

is less through such soils. A malarial disease of a person 
is a malarial disease of the soil photographed upon a person. 
There is no such poison in the atmosphere as malaria. 
The idea that there is, is a superstition of a profession 
that should know more than to possess one. 

The cure of all so-called malarial diseases is getting a 
good supply of electricity in the blood. A garden of a 
great variety of flowers is a considerable assistant for 
those who can not go to a better atmosphere to dwell. 
The decomposition of many blossoms will supply the 
atmosphere with electricity. Every door-yard should con- 
tain beds of flowering plants. When a person can go to 
the place where a soil is neither deep nor sticky a cure 
of so-called malaria will follow in one day. 



ASTHMA. 

Asthma is only a collapse of the bronchial pipes. It 
is produced by the want of sufficient force of electricity in 
the muscles and pipes to continue them in a natural con- 
dition. A cloth funnel when pressed with water is 
extended and continues in this condition while it is full of 
water. A collapse takes place when the water is with- 
drawn. A bronchial funnel will continue full and its 
walls in a circular condition when a current of electricity 
is coursing in its substance. So will a muscle be of per- 
fect shape when possessed of a force that gives it power. 
"When a muscle is without a sufficient force it becomes limp 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 8 1 

and sags down. All that produces the sagging and collapse 
in case of asthma is the want of a sufficient current of elec- 
tricity from the brain . A naturally weak or exhausted brain 
is sure to permit a collapse of the bronchial pipes to a greater 
or less extent. The person whose brain is inadequate to 
control the performance of these organs will be afflicted 
with asthma. A person whose brain becomes very weak 
from any cause will suffer a temporary asthma. 

This is all that can be said of a disease that is as 
much misunderstood as a control of a world. The pro- 
fession of medicine is declaring that asthma is a spasmodic 
contraction of the bronchial pipes. No cause for the con- 
traction is known; nor is there any cause known for a 
contraction of any part of the body, and which in the 
cords and muscles is usually called cramp. 

The cause of every contraction of the body is a want 
of a natural amount of electricity, and a withdrawal of 
this force is sure to produce a contraction. 

The simplest possible proof of this fact is the com- 
mon effect of a contraction of the flesh when a current of 
this force is withdrawn by a common battery. A person 
who grasps the poles of a battery is sure to experience a 
cramping of the muscles of the hands and arms. A cur- 
rent of great force is passing through the hands and arms 
in the blood. When it does not follow the blood there is 
no cramping. This is seen when a current is caused to 
pass across a limb. The current, if following the blood, 
will attract the current from the other portions of the 
organs, and this withdrawal produces the contraction. A 
withdrawal of a current to the brain from the cords is the 
sole cause of muscular action, when the will is operating. 



82 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

A remedy for asthma can be found in a supply of 
electricity in the brain. This is a certain remedy. Its 
proof is a whiff of any gas that is containing electricity. 
Ether, chloroform or strong ammonia evaporation, will 
give a brain an intoxicating supply of electricity. 

A person whose asthma is produced by any exhaustion 
of the brain can remove the trouble by giving the brain 
sufficient repose. If a person's asthma is constitutional, 
an increase of the size and activity of the brain is the one 
competent remedy. It is as sure to give permanent relief 
as the earth is to pass around a sun. 

A careful study of all worthy subjects, and a reflection 
upon them, will do the work. Commence by reading a 
work of science. A discussion of the cause of asthma is a 
good way to practice the reasoning powers. 

A person who can understand the cause of this disease 
fully will be free from contraction of the bronchial pipes. 



BRONCHITIS. 

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the linings of the 
bronchial tubes. It is always produced by a bad gas from 
the stomach being drawn into the pipes with the breath. 
A poisoning of the membrane is all that is performed. As 
certain as the disease is caused by a bad stomach, it can 
be removed by getting the stomach into a proper condition. 
If the' cause of the disordered stomach is a cold a washing 
of the body with alcohol or ammonia is necessary, and a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 83 

glass of common soda and water should be drank twice a 
day. 

The symptoms of the disease are too well known to 
need describing in this article. What is called chronic 
bronchitis is but a continuation of the disorder. Con- 
sumption can be produced by the continuance of the 
disease. It should not be neglected. 



INFLAMMATION OP THE THROAT. 

(Sore Throat.) 

Inflammation of any part of the throat except when 
poisoned by a discharge of the decomposed portions of the 
brain, is produced by a gas from the stomach coming up 
the gullet. The cure is in giving the stomach a good 
digestion. No medicine is wanted for the throat. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE TONSILS. 

A tonsil is a heap of corpuscles discharged from the 
blood for the purpose of affording a sort of valve for the 
throat. A swallow is performed more perfectly by the aid 
of the tonsils. Only corpuscles given in a pile and covered 
over by a shroud of consolidated electricity is the tonsil; a 
pair of them is in the throat. A decomposition often com- 



84 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

mences in them. It is stopped by a good condition of the 
brain, and a good blood is the giver of strength to the 
brain. All that produces the inflammation of these organs 
is a want of electricity in them and a decomposition is the 
producer of the inflammation. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE 
(ESOPHAGUS 

A gas from a bad stomach is the cause of a soreness 
of the gullet or oesophagus. Sometimes a vapor of a 
pool of decomposing food in the stomach will scorch the 
gullet's surface. Stop creating a bad stomach and the 
complaint is cured in five days. 



DISEASE OF THE PHARYNX. 

The pharynx is the affair in the throat that contains 
substance for an instant when a swallow is performed. 
It is a veritable gobbler of a thing swallowed, and it perforins 
a sort of grabbing and passing over of a quantity of food. 
The operation is performed in order to give tne substance 
swallowed such a momentum in the gullet that it wall pro- 
ceed down this organ. It is but a yielding portion of the 
mouth and throat. The inflammation of this portion of 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 85 

the throat is produced as all inflammation of the throat is. 
A gas of the stomach is the poisoner. Cure as in all cases 
of sore throat. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE TONGUE. 

The tongue is decomposing when it is given a swol- 
len and inflamed condition. A weakness of the nerves 
in it is the cause. A cure is effected by giving the nerves 
^strength. A very debilitated person is apt to have a swol- 
len tongue. A libertine is sure to have one when a 
debauch has completely prostrated his nervous system. 
Quiet and good food will strengthen the nerves in a few 
weeks. 



APHONIA. 

(Loss of Voice.) 



The voice is given a person or creature by a vibration 
of the muscles of the throat and membranous cords, and 
it is permitted to be controlled in people by a power of the 
will to control the action of the vibrating portions of the 
throat. When the power of the will to control them is 
gone only a screech is possible, as in the case of a brute. 
When the muscles and cords can not be vibrated no 
voice can be given by the person. The principal causes 



86 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

for a cessation of the voice are colds and inflammation 
of the vibrating organs. The use of alcohol is also a 
cause of the disorder. Either a destruction of a portion 
of the organs by inflammation, or alcohol, or a swell- 
ing of them, is the means of preventing their proper 
action. To prevent a destruction by alcohol the substance 
must not be used, and to prevent a permanent destruction 
by inflammation, a cold or sore throat must be removed. 
Under the articles Sore Throat and Cold, a cure is given. 



CONTRACTION OF THE OESOPHAGUS. 

A contraction of the oesophagus is produced by a 
want of sufficient electricity in all the glands of the 
body, including the marrow of brain and nerves. Con- 
traction of all objects takes place when a current of elec- 
tricity is withdrawn from them. A collapse of the walls 
of the hollow pipe is the disorder. Give the body a good 
amount of strength and the collapse is over. 



DIPHTHERIA. 

Diphtheria is only a severe sore throat — so very severe 
that a pus is produced on the surface. The cause of the 
disease is a force of the brain extending downward and 



CAUSE AND CURE OK DISEASE. 8? 

placing on the surface of the throat exactly the same char- 
acter of substance that hair is made of. The disease is 
only possible with a person whose brain is active and 
capable of accomplishing something besides constructing 
hair and creating a sore throat. 

A throat with diphtheria is also aggravated by a class 
of affairs in the atmosphere which we explained in the 
article on whooping cough. We refer our readers to that 
article for an explanation of the objects. Without this 
aggravation diphtheria would not be fatal. 

In any case of the disease the only cause is a pressing 
of the electricity of the brain toward parts of the body 
below it. Every affection of the throat, internally or 
externally, is caused by a pressing of a great current of 
electricity in the brain in a downward direction. 

The most prevalent of all diseases, catarrh, is also 
produced by this downward pressing of a current of elec- 
tricity. It will be given a separate article in this work. 

The poisoning of a delicate surface by a partly decom- 
posed portion of a brain is the cause of diphtheria. The 
remedy is a change in the course of this pressing. A pre- 
vention is a worthy employment of a brain. A change is 
produced by giving the hair a clipping and washing the 
head with alcohol as often as a patient can bear it. 

A competent dressing of the throat is a spoonful of 
granulated sugar three times a day. No other cleansing 
is necessary. A prevention can be accomplished by a 
sufficient use of the hands and feet, or by a use of a good 
library. An unemployed current of electricity in the brain 
will find in such occupations a better work than carrying 
broken down corpuscles to a throat. 



88 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

APOPLEXY. 

Apoplexy is but an aggravated case of congestion of the 
brain. It is, in fact, the same disease. A cure is produced 
in the same way congestion is cured, if a cure is possible. 
The disease is an attempt of a soul to get out of the 
body, and in the majority of cases it succeeds. The cause 
of the disease is a uselessness of the person. When no good 
work is possible of the person the soul attempts to get 
where it can be of use, and in a second attempt it will always 
succeed. A second attempt can be prevented by the per- 
son commencing to do some good in the world. It is cer- 
tain to be a success if the good is performed. 

Apoplexy is also a more sudden and violent case of 
vertigo ; it is given to a person whose neck and brain per- 
mit a great amount of blood to flow to the brain, and it is 
given only to cause the person to give up the habit of stimu- 
lating the blood with alcohol or tobacco, and it is generally 
effective in accomplishing the purpose. The disease is, in 
fact, a commencement of death. The whole current of elec- 
tricity of the body is started toward the brain, and as in 
case of death. A second start of the force in this direc- 
tion succeeds in placing the person's soul in a better 
world. The cause of the disease is a bad habit, or it is 
given a worthless person in order to give him a death. 
Nothing occurs but a starting of the forces of the body 
toward the force in the atmosphere over a person. The 
blood merely follows the current. 

A cure is not possible beyond a calling of the blood and 
force" back again to the other parts of the body. A dose 
of medicine is a positive injury, and a dose of anything else is 



CAUSB AND CURS OF DISEASK. 89 

not less so. Placing the feet in a bath of warm water is 
about all that can be done. A compress of cold, wet cloth 
on the head will cause a small discharge of the blood from 
the head toward the body. 



INSANITY. 

A disordered mind is insanity. A current of electric- 
ity on the folds of the brain is a mind. All insanity is a 
disturbance of the action of a current upon one fold or 
several. If the disturbance is in a current of a single fold, 
the person is insane upon one subject or what concerns 
one capacity of the mind. If the disturbance is on sev- 
eral folds as many capacities of the mind are deranged. 
On every fold whose current is in a proper condition there 
is a rational faculty operating. This is all there is of 
insanity and it is quite time a physician knows it. A 
cause for insanity is a mere destruction of the operations 
of the current by a greater or lesser decomposition of the 
corpuscles of the fold than is natural. A cause for the 
greater amount of decomposition of a fold than is proper 
is an unwarranted exercise of a faculty performed by the 
current of this fold. Overwork of a particular character 
is the usual improper use of the capacity. Only a greater 
current of the almighty powers of a mind than is of use 
to the person is the insane condition. The current is 
incapable of giving a correct conception of its subjects of 
observation and it is an extravagant conception that is 



90 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

obtained. A person insane from such a cause is con- 
stantly discussing an extravagant occupation of the mind 
in a particular pursuit. When a melancholy is given the 
person by a disordered cm-rent, it is the consequence of a 
want of electricity on a fold or more than one. The 
afflicted person is constantly discouraged and is without 
capacity to perform any useful work, and one is as timid 
as a snake in the grass. A mere childish condition of the 
mind with a partial conception of its existence is the 
disorder. 

The cause of this want of a current of the brain is 
generally a want of blood for a great while and a better 
fold of the brain. Any bad practice that calls for a force 
of the brain and at the same time decreases the corpuscles 
of the blood will cause an insanity of this character. Mas- 
turbation and excessive sexual indulgence will cause insan- 
ity in eveiy person who is guilty of such abuses of the sys- 
tem. When a person is furious and constantly exercising 
the muscles in a way to destroy life and property and the 
lunatic himself or herself, a fold of the brain which is the 
picket for an execution of force is given an unwarranted 
action. All of the madly insane persons are given a great 
exhaustion of their bodies and brain by overwork of some 
character and it is but an extravagant operation of the 
same character in the condition of insanity. 

An hereditary insanity is a copying of a parent's dis- 
ordered brain by an offspring at some periods of its exist- 
ence. Only a copying of what occurred in a parent after 
the person was born. 

All cases of insanity are curable if a destruction of 
the folds of the brain has not occurred. All that is neces- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 9 1 

sary for a cure is to give the person sufficient rest, or if the 
insanity is produced by a bad habit, to discontinue the habit. 
When a cessation of the cause is made, a gradual return 
of a proper condition of the mind will follow. It is as 
certain as the fact that a current of electricity is an intel- 
ligent operator. 

A destruction of a fold by accident or any mechanical 
injury is, of course, a permanent cause for a disturbance 
of the mind. 

When a sudden excitement is the cause of the dis- 
order, only a sufficient quiet is wanted to give the brain a 
good condition of intelligence. All cases of so-called per- 
manent insanity are rendered thus by a want of care and 
good treatment by a family or the official of an asylum. 
A cause of all such misfortunes is in the ignorance of the 
medical profession as to the character and cause of mind. 
There is not a lunatic in the asylum or families of the 
country who cannot be made rational by a good nurse and 
kindness, no matter how long the disorder may have been 
in the person if the brain is complete. 



CATALEPSY. 

Catalepsy is a work of a spirit controller of a person. 
The control is to give a spirit a better means of communi- 
cating with the world of mortals. It is generally followed by 
an habitual control of the person, and a communication of a 
spirit with the associates of the instrument. It is not a 



92 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

disease, and the person is in no danger of a disease. One is 
in more danger of getting a church to give him or her a 
curse. A crank is often produced hy catalepsy. Paul was 
one, and all the great discoverers of the world were given 
a species of catalepsy before a great truth was given the 
world by them. 



PARALYSIS. 

Paralysis is a complete withdrawal of a force of the 
nerves to the brain and prevention of its return. The use 
of the disease is to give a libertine or bad woman a death. 
The use of the disorder in other persons is to destroy a use- 
less life. It is a quick and painless way of putting an end 
to a mortal existence. Only a certain class of persons can 
be destroyed in this way. The class are those who are 
without ambition and who are able to do all that is of use 
in a short period. The most capacitated are often given 
paralysis, but in such cases a life's work is performed 
before a call for another life's work is made. Only a work 
of usefulness is permitted by any person, and all criminals 
aud degraded people are given death except such as are 
needed to teach a condition of degradation to the balance of 
the community. The disease is a capital invention for a 
separating of a body from a soul. It is always painless. 
A cure is not possible if a death is the purpose of the 
disease and it generally is. A punishment for a degrada- 
tion is sometimes given by it, and the patient allowed to 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 93 

recover, but it is only a promise to come for the soul if the 
lesson is not heeded. 

A perfect rest of the brain and a bathing of the body 
with alcohol as often as once a day, are the only useful 
remedies. 



CONGESTION OF THE BRAIN. 

Congestion of the brain is but an accumulation of 
blood in the organ. It is produced by dyspepsia as a gen- 
eral thing. When it is possessed a pressing of the head 
is felt and the eyes are given a color of blood. The ears 
will ring and a sharp pain is felt in all parts of the head 
in different times; a partial and often a complete loss of 
consciousness occurs. The hands and feet are given a 
species of paralysis and they are without sufficient heat. 
A competent cure is a washing of the head with alcohol 
and correcting the stomach. 



APHASIA. 



(Loss of Memory.) 



This disorder of the mind is a consequence of exhaus- 
tion of the brain only. A person who is all the while at 
work hard, if not very intellectual, will become afflicted 



94 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

with the disorder. If a person is using a great amount of 
tobacco in the way of smoking, the disease is produced. If 
a person is giving his body a destruction by onanism or 
great sexual indulgence, a want of memory will be felt. 
In the latter cases all is forgotten but the want of a grati- 
fication of the sexual passion. A current of electricity in 
the brain is all that is wanted to give the person as good 
mem 017 as ever. 

A cessation of all that is giving the brain exhaustion 
is the cure. No medicine can assist. 



WATER ON THE BRAIN. 

A child is often afflicted with water on or in the brain. 
It causes the child to become unconscious and when not 
in this condition it is without will, and in all cases a 
general relaxation of the system occurs. The cause 
of the disorder is a greater amount of water in the 
blood than is proper for the corpuscles in it. In other 
words it is almost wholly water. When a mother is with- 
out a good condition of the blood she cannot give her child 
a good milk. The corpuscles of the blood are wanted in 
it. The cells of the milk are but the undecomposed 
(white) corpuscles of the blood given a straining out of 
the blood vessels of the glands of the breast. "When such 
a poor milk is obtained by the child it can but copy 
the condition of the mother in its own condition. This 
is all there is of the disease. The water is pressed 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 95 

into the brain with the corpuscles and it is then a mere 
destroyer of the operations of the brain. If the child can 
withstand the complaint until a better blood is obtained, it 
should be given a better chance of life. Change the food 
and give it the milk of a goat or cow. 



LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA. 

An inability to control the motion of the limbs is 
locomotor ataxia. The cause is a want of electricity in 
the brain at the organ called combativeness. A failure to 
execute the will is ;fche difficulty. The want of a good force 
of this organ is often a cramped skull. The skull is 
cramped and given improper form at birth. There is no 
cure for the trouble. A destruction of the base brain by 
any abuse of the organ will give a species of the disease. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE BRAIN. 

Inflammation of the brain is but a commencement of 
its decomposition and it is always produced by a want 
of sufficient electricity in it. Any cause of the absence 
of a sufficient amount of the principle of life in the 
great toadstool of the head is a cause of inflammation 
of the organ. A cure is very simple. A cessation of 



96 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the use of the brain for any purpose and a good digestion 
so far as it is possible under the circumstances, and a 
bathing of the head with alcohol as often as once every 
half horn*. A woman who is pregnant and a husband who 
is so worthless as to operate his sexual faculties on all occa- 
sions of a night, will be apt to have inflammation of the 
brain. The woman is wholly entitled to sympathy, but 
the husband is only entitled to a death. He is quite sure 
to get it if he cannot discover the cause of his disease. A 
fearful pain in the head, and a gradual loss of conscious- 
ness are the symptoms of the disease of most consequence. 
Any use of the brain in the period of the disease is fol- 
lowed by nausea and fainting. 



DELIRIUM TREMENS. 

Delirium tremens is but a complete prostration of 
the brain, and is produced by any active stimulant if used 
to excess. Alcohol is the most general producer of the 
woful complaint. The force of the brain is all destroyed 
when the disease is produced, and a decomposition of its 
substance is commenced. The delirium is but an insanity 
of the mind. The currents of the brain are all destroyed, 
and only a mere consciousness of a danger is possessed. 
The figures observed are only the insects generated in the 
decomposing brain, and they appear to the mind as great 
creatures coming to the person at every whirl of their 
bodies. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 97 

The cure of the disorder is a plenty of rest and sleep, 
and a total abandonment of the use of what produces the 
complaint. Tobacco and even tea will produce the disease. 
A chewer of tobacco is frequently given a species of the 
disease, and it is cured in a couple of days after the tobacco 
is abandoned. No medicine will assist in the removal of 
the disease. The use of a sedative will only prolong the 
disorder. Keep the person as quiet as possible, but do not 
bind him. The confinement is a powerful agitation to the 
body. 



NEURALGIA. 

This order of afflictions is of the best possible charac- 
ter for giving a person punishment for abusing a power of 
the nerves. It is never employed except as a punishment 
for an outrage upon an almighty in these wires of the body. 
An absence of a portion of the almighty that is outraged is 
the cause of the pain. No pain is possible except from a 
want of an almighty influence in a part of the body. A 
nerve is filled with corpuscles pressed into it from and by 
a brain; and, when only a sufficient amount of them are 
employed for giving a person a current of the nerves for a 
commendable purpose, a pain cannot take place in these 
organs until a great abuse of them is practiced. A cor- 
puscle will be wanting or more than one. A call is then 
made upon a brain for what is wanted. 

The call is a pain, and it will continue until a fresh 
supply of corpuscles is given. Attention is commanded 



98 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

by a call of this character. A weakness of the nerve will 
continue until a corpuscle is so well decomposed as to pro- 
vide a current of electricity that is equal to the one previ- 
ously in the nerve. A pain will stop when a small cur- 
rent is produced. 

The whole catalogue of disorders, called sciatica, tic- 
douloureux, lumbago in a spinal cord, and what we afe 
describing are only neuralgia in different parts of the 
nerves. Only one cause is possible for any one of them, 
and only one means of cure is obtainable. 

A cure is effected simply by stopping the exhaustion 
of corpuscles. No possible cure can be made except in 
allowing a brain to send corpuscles to the point at which a 
pain is felt. 

This is a slow process, and it is purposely so. So 
delicate an affair as a nerve must not be injured without 
a chance to see what may follow a repetition of the injury. 
A pain in a joint of the back is a calamity that will usually 
teach a libertine to stop his excesses in a palace of vice. 

A pain of a nerve in a sciatic work will usually 
admonish a big and lazy person to get up and walk more, 
and not sit on a nerve when a work of his hands can be 
had. A tic-douloureux in the face will give a person satis- 
factory punishment for a great exhaustion of the brain. 
A pain in the nerves of a tooth will cause a person to get 
better blood and strength generally. 

This affair called corpuscle is a mighty invention in 
nature, and every object in the universe is made of one or 
more than one of such inventions. A decaying affair of 
creation is only a mass of corpuscles in a greater or lesser 
state of decomposition. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 99 

Wash the aching part with alcohol as often as every 
half hour for a whole day. 



EARACHE. 

A person can get the earache by a plugging of the 
orifice of the ear with the decomposed corpuscles or cells 
of the auditory nerve. A discharge of the substance will 
give a relief. Warm water is capable of giving relief in 
about ten minutes. A cause for a plugging of the ear is 
in the contraction of the whole organ from the effects of 
cold. A person is generally obtaining the earache in bed. 
A feather pillow is a capital object for warming all one 
side of the head. When one side is well warmed, an 
exposure to a cold air by turning in the bed will give a 
contraction of the organ. A plugging is of course per- 
formed. A pain will commence as soon as a current of 
electricity that is cooped in the drum and nerve begins to 
burn the walls. 

A fearful pain is the consequence. - A burning is sure 
to continue until a discharge of the current takes place. If 
an escape of the current cannot be made through the 
proper channel, it will burn a hole to the surface of the 
skull at another place. An ulcered ear is a good illustra- 
tion of the effects of a burning by a cooped current of 
electricity. Let all persons remember that warm water 
applied to the ear will give a cooped current an escape, 
and a discharge of the "wax" will follow. 



IOO CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

A physician is yet to discover that a "wax" of the ear, 
and humor of the eye, and the soft substance in a tooth, 
and the cartilage of a nose, and the soft portion of a nail 
of the foot or hand are exactly alike, and that the sub- 
stance is but decomposed cells of a brain or nerve. 



TOOTHACHE. 

When a tooth is decayed it is a poison to the gum; 
when it is wholly disconnected from the nerve it is a rank 
poison. The substance of a tooth is the same as that of a 
bone or the nails. Only a prevention of its decay upon 
the surface by a construction of what is called enamel is 
the cause of giving the gum no poison while the tooth is 
in a good condition. An enamel is but a plugging of the 
small orifices of the tooth by a process of attraction of a 
speck of substance from the saliva of the mouth. A ver- 
itable petrifying of a tooth is performed in the operation. 
When a force of a nerve in the tooth is insufficient to con- 
tinue its construction as fast as it decays, a destruction of 
the tooth commences. A greater amount of destruction 
than construction is the work. 

All that constructs a tooth is a discharge at the end 
of a nerve or several of them, of decomposed corpuscles or 
cells of a nerve or nerves, and a solidification of the sub- 
stance at the end of the nerve. An eye is constructed in 
the same way and of the same substance. Only a greater 
size of the optic nerve gives a greater object at its end. A 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. lOl 

current of electricity the nerve discharges is the wonderful 
affair that constructs all the apparatus of an eye. A very 
almighty capacity of the current is the designer and exe- 
cutor of the design. 

A toothache is cured by a removal of a decayed tooth. 
Only a temporary suspension of pain is produced by any 
other operation. A destruction of a nerve that connects 
the tooth with the brain is a most foolish operation. It 
gives the decayed tooth a chance to decay very rapidly, 
and the substance is giving poison to all the mouth. 
Some people are poisoned to death by it. A woman is 
most capacitated for a fatal consequence of a decayed tooth. 
She is so apt to drink tea at all hours that a good assistant 
is given the poison. A thousand women are getting sore 
mouths from the action of the two substances. 

Let every decayed tooth be filled or removed. A filled 
tooth is prevented decaying by a separation of the surface 
of the decayed part from the saliva of the mouth. The 
saliva is a species of acid. 



TETANUS. 



(Lock Jaw.) 



A physician is claiming that lock jaw is a consequence 
of the contraction of muscles. It is a great mistake. It 
is a consequence of the great activity of the nerves. The 
nerves of the teeth discharge such a great current of elec- 
tricity in the case of the disease, that a clinching of the 



102 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

jaws at the teeth is produced, — a mere attraction of so- 
called gravity of a magnet. The current is so great, all the 
strength of a person cannot give the teeth separation. It 
should never be attempted. The cure of the disease is very 
simple, although a case was never cured in the world except 
by accident. A common horseshoe magnet of considera- 
ble power, applied to the teeth at one pole, will pull off the 
current and allow the jaws a separation. A current of 
electricity applied at the back of the head and caused to 
course down the spinal column will pull away the current. 
Our good advice is to obtain confirmation, and a scolding 
of the author is to be given a fresh impetus. The cause 
of the nerves giving such a current is the excitement of 
the organs by any sufficiently irritating affair. 



SHAKING PALSY. 

Shaking palsy is only a partial paralysis. It is the 
consequence of a great shock of the whole nervous sys- 
tem by any powerful excitement of the nerves. Alcohol 
is the most common producer of the complaint. Old age 
is only a cause of a weak nerve but it is not a disease. A 
severe sickness is a cause of a more premature faltering 
of the nerves, and so is a great quantity of powerful 
drugs. 

A child can outgrow the disorder but an adult cannot 
often. The convulsive motion of the limbs is the conse- 
quence of a withdrawal of the force of the nerves to the 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 103 

brain. Overwork or any excitement of the brain gives 
a call on the nerves for their force ; when it is given a limb 
starts toward the head. Give the brain rest and a plenty 
of sleep. 



HYSTERIA. 

Hysteria is a great excitement of the brain and nerves. 
A bad disposition is the principal cause. An effort to do a 
mean thing is the hysterics ; the person is so eager to give 
a scare or control to a person he or she is angry with an 
effort is made to destroy a property or the hysteric herself. 
The best remedy is a horse-whip, and a denial of every 
want of the mean person until a promise is obtained that 
no more efforts to cause a scare shall be made. A person 
guilty of hysterics is of short life; a disease is sure to fol- 
low it and give the person death. 



EPILEPSY. 

The epilepsy is but a continued vertigo, and it is a 
disease that is produced by a stunning of the brain with 
a powerful drug of some character when a person is young. 
The condition of the brain at the time of the stunning is 
obtained again in the disease, and it is only a copy of the 
condition, as in St. Vitus' dance. It is of almost periodi- 



104 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

cal corning, and it will defy a world of doctors to either 
explain or cure it. A person in an epileptic fit is in the 
same condition as a person who is unconscious from alco- 
hol, and the one is as badly affected by a habit of a brain 
and nerve as the other. A case of epilepsy cannot be 
cured except by years of constant change of the whole 
organization. A dose of medicine should never be used. 



CONVULSIONS. 

The disease called convulsions is but a continued 
vertigo, and it is a current of electricity given the brain 
from a stomach. The convulsion is only a species of 
drunkenness, and a "dead drunk" person is in a convul- 
sion. When a sick person is given convulsions a start 
toward recovery is made. A digestion of some extent is 
sending a current of electricity to the brain. If a brain is 
competent to bear the shock a cure is certain. This is 
given demonstration in all cases of convulsion in which 
the person is only wanting a good digestion. 



ST. VITUS' DANCE. 

A twitching of the facial muscles and other parts 
of the body is the disease called St. Vitus' dance. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. IO5 

It is caused by a contraction of the nerves of the face 
and body, and the nerves are contracted by a want 
of electricity in the brain. Every time a muscle of the face 
is given a contraction a brain is calling upon a nerve for a 
current of its power. When it is obtained the muscles 
will again become of proper form. The original cause of 
the disease is a great excitement of the brain either before 
or after birth, and it is but a continuation of the action of 
the brain in the disease, a copying of the action of both 
brain and nerve, as in all cases of disease when a conta- 
gion or repetition of symptoms is observed. A cure is 
getting the brain into a strong condition, and the blood as 
well constructed as possible. Only time and a continued 
changing of the organ will accomplish a cessation of the 
operations. 



SCURVY. 



A sailor is the person who has the most scurvy. It 
is only a destruction of the skin by a decomposition. 
The want of a good diet is the cause of it. The blood is 
impoverished because a corpuscle is not given a competent 
burning. A cause for the bad burning of corpuscles is a 
want of a good current of electricity from the stomach 
when the food is given it. A food that is only a dried 
meat or partly withered vegetable is a producer of scurvy. 
The want of a stimulant of the whole body by a stomach 
when a meal is eaten is a cause for an imperfect condition 
of the blood. A consumption of a proper diet for a couple 



106 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

of days is a certain cure for the disease. A gland and 
gum are given a destruction as well as a surface of the 
body, in this disorder. A change of diet and good air is 
all the process of obtaining a cure. 

The symptoms are, first, a great weakness of the whole 
body, and every part has the aj>pearance of a want of force 
and activity. Decomposition of the gums commences, and 
this is followed by commencement of decomposition of the 
entire surface of the body. The skin is actually decay- 
ing, and all its decaying parts are sore, and they often are 
corroding and giving a pus. 



LOSS OP HAIR. 

Hair is constructed by a discharge of the partially 
decomposed corpuscles of the brain upon the surface of 
the scalp. As long as the process is continued there will 
be no falling of the hair. When this process is stopped a 
hair is given decay at the root. We mean by root a con- 
nection of the hair with the scalp. An attraction only of 
the substance of a hair, for a cell of the scalp is the cause 
of the short branches of the hair at its base. When a ces- 
sation of the construction of the hair occurs, a decomposi- 
tion of the branches commences and this liberates the hair 
and it falls as a plant falls when its roots are decayed. 
When the cessation of construction is only temporary, 
a new hair will be constructed, but if this stop be perma- 
nent, a bald scalp will also be a permanent object. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 07 

A cessation of the growth of the hair is produced by 
any weakening of the brain. In people who are bald from 
a great use of the brain, all that occurs is an occupation 
of the force of the brain in operating a hand or a foot. 
The current of good power that discharges the broken- 
down cells upon the scalp, will be carried to the arms and 
legs, a decomposed corpuscle of the brain is then discharged 
on the cartilage of the nose, and in an ear, and in a jaw 
bone and in all parts of the head that are constructed 
from the brain. 



MOTHER'S MARKS. 

A photographing of the condition of the surface of 
the mother's face or other parts of the body upon a devel- 
oping child, is the so-called mother's mark. The mark is 
only for a purpose and that is to disclose to all people a 
plan of developing a child by the mother. A work of 
most astonishing character is given a developing child by 
its mother, or rather by a current of electricity in the 
womb. A careful explanation of the entire performance 
is given under the title of Keproduction. Every reader of 
the contents of this book is asked to give the chapter a 
careful examination and a place in the memory. A mother's 
mark is not to be permitted when all people have learned 
the cause of it. Its purpose is then served and it cannot 
be given illustration again. 

There is no cure for a mark of this character and it 
was not intended such a mark should be removed. It was 



Io8 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

given a place upon the person only that a whole commu- 
nity could 3ee it. A removal of a mark will only give a 
worse one which will offend a person more. The few 
marks upon a body of a person are but the consequence of 
want of development in the unfolding of the child. When 
a person is given a great red patch on the face, he or she 
is allowed a compensation for carrying the photograph by 
being given a good intellect and a good body. 



RINGWORM. 

A ringworm is but a tetter and a nerve in the center 
of the affair continues a good condition of skin within the 
ring for awhile. 

A patch of the ekin is given decomposition when a 
ringworm occurs. A good food and a good digestion 
will cure it. (See Tetter.) 



MOLES. 

Moles are but the lingering conditions of the skin 
and hair of a brute that was the origin of the person ; a 
patch of tbe animal's skin is on the person; sometimes, 
too, quite large. A mother's mark is never of this charac- 
ter. It is a mark of a dog, or cow, or other creature, that 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 109 

was possessing exactly the same kind of hair and which 
was of the same color as that on the mole or great dis- 
figurement. A denial ■ of the origin of the person is out 
of the question in the case of the possessor of a mole. No 
doctor of medicine or other science is able to dispute it 
either. 

A removal is performed by a knife or acid. A phy- 
sician of experience should perform the work. When the 
mole is removed a careful examination of the hair should 
be given. It is a wise work to observe the projects of a 
Creator for teaching people a plan of creation. 



ECZEMA. 

This disgusting complaint is the consequence of a 
child's having poor milk from its mother while nursing. 
A woman who is so high tempered as to get into a pas- 
sion at a small disappointment or trouble will be quite 
likely to give eczema to a nursing child. A woman who 
is of a perfectly sweet and even temper cannot give her 
babe the disorder. 

The disease is a consequence of a milk being affected 
by an excited state of the whole nervous system of the 
mother. The milk is given a similar condition to some 
extent, and when in a child's body it is giving a corrosion 
to a skin, and more over the great artery that carries the 
blood over the head than elsewhere. A work of copying a 
corroding and colored skin on a mother when she is angry 



IIO CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

is the affair. A cure of the disease is a cessation of bad 
passion of the mother. A complete cure is effected by this 
remedy in a couple of weeks. A mother-in-law of bad 
passion and judgment can give eczema to a daughter's 
children if she is allowed to come and provoke the daugh- 
ter's ill-temper and give her bad advice. 



SHINGLES. 

Shingles, so-called, is a decomposition of the skin on 
the body, and it is produced by a covering of black cloth 
for a long period. A photographing of the dark cloth is 
after a while performed. The second day after the body 
is given light clothing a correction of the disorder is 
obtained. 



BARBER'S ITCH. 

Barber's itch, so-called, is but a sore scalp or face 
obtained by a cutting of hair or beard so short that a cold 
gives the skin a contraction and a cracking at many points. 
The cracking gives the itch, as it is called. A cure is a 
wash of alcohol every day for a month. The disease is 
not contagious and a barber shop is but a cause of the 
short clipping of the hair. It is time a great scare over a 
cold of the face or scalp was over. Many bald heads are 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. Ill 

constantly given an itch of this character. It is supposed 
the hair was lost from the itch, and the itch is a continued 
disease. The scalp is not protected and is subject to a 
change of temperature. Cure as above. 



SCALD HEAD. 

Scald head is but a decomposition of the scalp and it 
is not the work of a parasite. There are no parasites of 
the scalp except lice. The cause of the decomposition is a 
want of force of the brain and it is always found in a child 
or in an adult that is wanting a plenty of food and diges- 
tion. A scab is part of the decomposed scalp. 

A cure is in a good food and a good digestion. 



FRECKLES. 

A dark spot on the hand or face is a freckle, as the 
doctor claims. A light skin, except where a good and 
proper color is given it, is the cause of freckles as we 
claim. A patched skin is often seen on a mulatto, and it 
is because a blood is incapable of giving color to all the 
surface of the body. A want of a good burning of a body 
by a force of the blood is a cause for so-called freckles. 
No person is freckled except a delicate child or a weak 



112 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

adult. A work of the blood is incomplete, and it should 
be given assistance by a plenty of good food and good air. 

A grown person is seldom freckled, because a greater 
amount of blood can burn a skin more uniformly and give 
it a better color. 

The color of a freckle is always a healthy color; a 
good brown aspect is on it. 



DANDRUFF. 

Dandruff is not a disease. It is a cleaving of the 
scales of the scalp, and the substance is only a destroyed 
tissue and the decomposed cells of the brain that are 
pressed into the scalp. The same substance as that in the 
hair is in the scalp, and the cells of growth besides. 

A washing of the head with a good soap and water is 
a cleaning of sufficient capacity. 



NETTLE RASH OR HIVES. 

Hives, or the so-called nettle rash, is but a pressing up 
of some of the tissues of the flesh by a current of electric- 
ity of the blood. The pushing is caused by a greater cur- 
rent in the blood than is needed to perform the work of 
constructing tissues. The greater current is given by a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. I13 

greater decomposition of corpuscles in the blood than is 
natural. The want of sufficient digestion is the cause of 
the more complete burning of the corpuscles. Those in 
the blood are given a greater burning. The urine will pos- 
sess less alkali in such a case, and more acid. A drunk- 
ard is covered with hives. The blood in him is excited all 
the time and a current is added from the alcohol. 
A cure consists in a good digestion only. 



OFFENSIVE PERSPIRATION. 

An offensive perspiration is caused by the substance 
discharged decomposing on the surface of the body in a 
tardy and incomplete manner. An accumulation of the 
ashes of the body is made and a strong scent is produced 
from the decomposition; the ashes and alkali can be 
smelled. A wash of the body with alcohol is a complete 
cure. 



CHILBLAINS. 

Chilblains is a "barber's itch" upon the feet and face 
and hands. (See Barber's Itch). The cause is a contrac- 
tion of the skin by the effect of cold. A cracking is pro- 
duced in the stretched parts of the skin which produces a 
slight inflammation and often a slight suppuration. The 



114 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

process of healing gives the itching to the cracked parts. 
The disease is in all respects like the erysipelas except it is 
on the extremities and is not so violent. The feet are in 
the snow and the face and hands are exposed to the cold. 
A perfect cure is a wash of the afflicted parts with 
alcohol once a day. 



TETTER. 



(See Bingworm.) 

A ringworm is only a decomposition of the skin on 
a weak body. A want of strength is all that is wanted. 
Wash the patch with alcohol a dozen times. 

It is the constructing power of a nerve in the center of 
the circle that prevents a ringworm being but a tetter. 



PRICKLY HEAT. 

Prickly heat is a breaking of the crust of the skin by 
a swelling of the skin under it. A warm atmosphere will 
produce it on a person of delicate construction. A shell 
of very thin and flexible character is all over the body. 
When the skin is swollen by the heat, the shell is broken m 
many places and a species of chilblain is produced — a 
breaking of the flexible cover of the skin. The skin is 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 115 

parched and of a spotted color. It is all gone when a cool 
day comes. 

The cure is a wash of the body with alcohol and a 
bathing with cold water in the morning. 



WARTS. 



Warts are what an old fogy of the country is calling 
proud flesh, except the wart is not the construction of tis- 
sues over an excavation made by an abscess. A mere con- 
tinued construction of tissues over a delicate point of the 
flesh is a wart. The cause is a bursting of the skin; a 
growth of tissues is made beyond the rent of the skin. 
A constant pressing of the wart with the back of the 
thumb nail is a cure. It will afford a skin to be con- 
structed over the wart. 



SALT RHEUM. 

The salt rheum is but a consequence of a great excite- 
ment of the brain and the eruption in the skin always fol- 
lows a great excitement of the brain. A nerve is given 
excitement when the brain is, and a force of the nerve 
discharged at the point in the surface of the hands where 
the nerves are given greater development is the cause of an 
eruption of the skin. The eruption is only a pressing of 



Il6 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the water of the blood under the skin in such quantities as 
to force the skin from the foundation in a small way. The 
water is lodged imder the elevated skin and is then allowed 
to decompose. In a short period it is all dried and a bit 
of dead skin is given a clearing from the flesh. 

The cure is a quiet condition of the brain and a dis- 
position not to get excited. 



LUPUS. 

(Continued Erysipelas.) 

Lupus is a disease of the skin, and it is but erysipelas 
giving a great destruction to the flesh of the face and its 
surroundings. The disease is only a constant decomposi- 
tion of the flesh by a continuation of the erysipelas. It is 
wholly cured by a good washing of the affected parts with 
alcohol, and a smart must not prevent the wash. A clean- 
ing of the pus from the whole tissues is the performance 
wanted and all that is wanted. 



CORNS. 



Corns are calculated for a punishment for wearing a 
smaller shoe than is proper for a person. A good sting is 
in the toe for the absence of a foolish one in the pride. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 117 

The joint of the toe is given a distortion also if the shoe is 
very tight. It corresponds to a distortion of the rnind that 
will wear one, and is as good a punishment as could he 
given. A good sized shoe is the cure; a sensible person is 
not wanting advice upon the subject. A dunce must be told 
that a corn is a plugging of the pores of the toe with a 
perspiration and its ashes, and that a plugging is contin- 
ued until the mass is as hard as a bone and as poison to 
the flesh. The whole of it is given a crowding to the 
other parts of the toe that produces a pain. 

A cure is a chance for the plugging to come out, and 
a growth of good tissue in its place. A proper size shoe 
is the chance. An acid or alkali of a weak character will 
assist in opening the pores. 



ACNE. 

Acne is the plugging of the pores of the skin of the 
face and neck and sometimes the chest with the masses 
of the perspiration that are given but a partial exudation 
from the surface of the body. It is wholly due to a want of 
a sufficient force of the body and its passage out of the 
pores of the skin. A current of electricity is the force and 
it is performing a circuit of the whole circulation to the 
capillaries and through the atmosphere to the nostrils, 
into which it again enters. The absence of a portion 
of the current gives the skin a bad condition. The 
perspiration or water of the blood which contains a 



Il8 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

speck of ashes is allowed to continue in the pores to some 
extent, and in them the ashes are consolidated and given the 
form of the pore. The outer end of the plugging is colored 
by the alkali of the gorged mass, and it is as poisonous as 
arsenic of a weak condition. A cancer is in every pore of 
this character, and it only requires a considerable number 
of such gorgings of pores to produce a corroding of the 
flesh. A cancer is always commenced by the plugging of 
the pores with ashes. 

A cure is certain if the skin is washed with alcohol 
eveiy day for a week, and a good blood is obtained. Eat- 
ing a plenty of food and breathing a plenty of good air will 
give the good blood. 



CONSUMPTION. 

Consumption of the lungs is produced by a collection 
of ashes of the blood in the j)ores and depressions of the 
organs. The ashes are only the partly decomposed cor- 
puscles of the blood. The want of a complete decomposi- 
tion of the corpuscles is the source of the impuiities of the 
blood commonly called scrofula. A necessity for an alkali 
in the water of the blood is the cause of the construction 
of ashes of corpuscles. If it was not for the necessity of 
an alkali in the water a complete combustion of corpuscles 
would take place. 

The medical profession is still ignorant of the cause, 
character and purposes of corpuscles of the blood. The 
cause of their existence in the fluid is simply the pouring 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 119 

of the undecomposed cells of the food eaten into the blood 
in the heart. The digestion of food is simply the separa- 
tion of the whole ceUs from the partly decomposed por- 
tions. A current of electricity lifts the whole cell into the 
thoracic duct and continues its course until it is poured 
into the blood at the heart. Exactly the same operation 
can be witnessed in the boiling of either plants or meats in 
a kettle. The decomposition taking place in a heated 
water gives a separation of what is considered fibrine or 
muscle of meat and the cells that are still complete, and 
in plants a separation of cells from fiber occurs. The 
cells will rise to the top of the water and coagulate in 
pools. The oil of any substance is of the same 
character as the cells of the food that are poured into the 
blood. Every fluid that is containing a cell of either plant 
or animal substance is exhibiting a copy of the operation 
of digestion, when it is allowed to remain quiet for a short 
time. The example of the rising of cream on milk will 
serve as an illustration. A stagnant pool of water with a 
greasy skum on its surface is another illustration. In each 
of these performances of an electric current only a decom- 
position of a substance and casting of whole corpuscles 
upon the surface of a fluid occurs. A current from the 
earth is performing the electrolysis. In the stomach a 
current from 'a nerve is doing it. The attraction of the 
current by a greater one in the artery of the heart is the 
cause of its ascending motion. (See Dyspepsia.) 

When in the blood a cell is called corpuscle. The 
name is obtained only for the want of a knowledge of the 
source and character of the thing denoted. It should be 
called a cell. Each cell will possess exactly the same con- 



120 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

struction when in the blood, it possessed when in the plant 
or animal. The plant cell will possess a nucleus and the 
animal cell will have none. The animal cell will decom- 
pose quickest. When a breath is drawn it is but a sweep 
of electricity from the atmosphere into the blood. A fire 
is kindled on the surface of each corpuscle; a blaze is pro- 
duced which is possessing a color corresponding to the 
degree of decomposition. All colors are produced by 
decomposition of substances. The common gas jet can, 
when ignited, illustrate this important truth, and over- 
throw every particle of the folly of a world of scientists 
concerning the cause of color. Only the graduation of the 
activity of the flame by a turning of the cut-off is neces- 
sary to disclose the fact that the degree of intensity of 
decomposition is the measure or cause of color. 

A current of electricity^is the active agent in all com- 
bustion. In a corpuscle's burning is the cause of all the 
heat of a body. Only a flame of a burning corpuscle is 
keeping a person or animal from freezing in winter. 
Exactly the same character of burning in a plant is seen 
and a color according to the degree of burning is given the 
wood of a tree or any part of a plant's stock or branch. 
The white portion is always on the surface and because a 
smaller amount of burning is in this part. Every plant 
of the perennial class is destroyed by a combustion of a 
speck of substance in its circulation. The same work is 
destroying a person of great age. The decomposition of a 
channel of circulation commences the work of destruction . 

In each blood vessel a corpuscle is by its decomposi- 
tion increasing the quantity of electricity in the blood— a 
philosophy as perfect as could be devised for affording a

pressing of electricity to the surface of each organ and of 
the body. The consolidation of a puff of this pressed out 
current is constructing a cell. A bubble of only consoli- 
dated electricity is a cell; a bubble upon any fluid is a 
similar affair, and only a puff of electricity consolidated 
into a shell. If the current is discharged with much 
violence a consolidation cannot occur. Now, all the cor- 
puscles are thus converted into electricity, except a trifle 
of each. That left is in the condition of ashes. A speck 
of sodium is given the water of the blood for the purpose 
of creating a weak alkali. This alkali is employed in wip- 
ing the blood vessels of all accumulations of the consolida- 
tions of electricity on their inner surfaces, and preventing 
their choking up; also to furnish ammonia for a urine, 
and which prevents the substance when discharged giving 
disease to a whole community. When this discharge is 
made a conversion of the urine into a fertilizer at once 
takes place. The clinging of these ashes to a tissue, and 
their lodgment in a depression of the body, is the con- 
struction of a cancer or tubercle. Only a plugging of the 
pores of a point of the body by the ashes of corpuscles is a 
cancer. The roots of the cancer are but the plugging of 
pores, which extend inwardly from a general mass on the 
surface of the organs. A tubercle is a similar construction 
in a throat or lung, and if it is not a mere plugging of pores 
by the ashes it is filling of a depression by them. All of 
the tubercles of a throat created by a filling of depressions 
by ashes are thrown out in a cough. The doctor calls 
them bundles. A ball of ashes, saturated with a water con- 
taining gas, is the object. 

When a doctor applies a more powerful corroder he but 



122 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

adds to the malignity of the complaint. A swallow of 
granulated sugar as often as the stomach will justify it will 
cleanse the throat of ashes and assist a healing process. 

The consumptive is cured by inhaling the vapor of 
sugar. A sticky vapor is capable of sticking some of the 
ashes to it and carrying them off. A sticky affair is as 
capable of clearing a sore of pus as a bird is of picking up 
kernels of grain from the earth. It is only a pus that is 
not removed that gives an incurable character to any sore. 
Consumption is as surely cured as any disease, if the pus 
is carried off as fast as created. 

All that cures consumption is a cleansing of the lung 
of pus and its corners of ashes. A tubercle is removed by 
inhaling a sticky vapor. All attempts to cure a lung by 
any other means are useless. A sugar house or manufac- 
tory is a proper place for a consumptive. A vapor of a 
sugar is what is needed in the disease. 

A person whose frame is delicate and whose muscles are 
flexible and soft is a victim to a disease of ashes. The 
chance is offered the ashes for a lodging. A hearty laugh 
is sure to shake some of them out of their corners. So 
will a sneeze. 

On every store and postoffice and blacksmith's door 
of the country villages a circular in great type describing 
a certain cure for consumption can be seen. The placard 
informs the whole community how many pills or quaffs of 
liquid or swallows of balsam are necessary to complete a 
cure. A certain number of the most corrosive character 
of pills is claimed by their inventor to be a cure for this 
complaint. A certain number of bottles of a filthy mixt- 
ure of plant and animal substance is claimed to be a cer- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISH ASK. 123 

tain cure by the preparer of this stuff. A certain number 
of spoonfuls of a waxy condition of oil is claimed to be a 
specific for the disease by the gatherer of the balsam. 

More or less people of every city and town are actually 
accepting this kind of advice and swallowing the sub- 
stances. Of course no one is cured, but every one is more 
or less injured by the unnatural food. A cathartic will, by 
a slight amount of decomposition of the substance, give a 
stimulant to the body, and by a violent corrosion of the 
walls of the stomach and intestines create a discharge of 
both the contents of the organs and the fluids of their own 
substance — a positive injury to the system. The lungs are 
only indirectly affected, and in no way except by a greater 
weakness of the system. 

A fluid nostrum is only able to create the same char- 
acter of stimulant, and if it decomposes to a great extent it 
will make a swill tub of the stomach. A balsam will only 
furnish a few corpuscles to the blood, and the balance pass 
off as any food does. The substance, whatever its name, 
is but a partially consolidated oil — mere cells of plants so 
old as to become a little contracted. A little further con- 
traction renders the mass a gum or resin. Camphor or 
resin is but a balsam more consolidated. Balsam is but 
an oil a little consolidated. Oil is but a mass of cells 
without any consolidation. Cells are the component parts 
of all plants and animals. 



PLEURISY. 

Pleurisy is only another instance of a covering of a 
delicate organ decomposing when the covered organ is 



124 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

decomposing. The pleura is but a shroud of the lungs and 
thorax walls, and it is constructed of a current of electricity 
given consolidation. The current is generated by a slight 
decomposition of the lungs, and for the purpose of obtain- 
ing a covering for them and the surface of the interior of 
the thorax. When the lungs are affected this panoply is 
affected in the same way. All that can take place with 
it in the nature of disease is its decomposition. When 
the body is chilled and the pores of the skin are closed, a 
contraction of this membrane is produced. When this is 
done a cooping of the electricity of the lungs is made and 
the lungs commence to burn. Then the membrane will 
commence to burn and a pain under the shoulder blade 
and in one side is felt. Pretty soon a heated and oppress- 
ive condition of the lungs is felt. If it is not at once 
relieved the disease called pneumonia is on the lungs. 
When this is the case the pleuritic pain is overlooked, in 
consequence of a greater distress in the lungs. A pain in 
every part of the lungs is felt and the person is unable to 
breathe without producing pain in them. A general fever 
is sure to follow, for all the surface of the body was closed 
in the commencement of the disease. 

The cure for pleurisy is precisely the same as for pneu- 
monia. (See Pneumonia.) 



BLEEDING FROM THE LUNGS. 

Bleeding from the lungs is caused by a rupture of 
small blood vessels in these organs. The cause of the 
rupture is a decomposition of the lungs sufficient to open 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 125 

the small blood vessels. A person who is thus afflicted is 
always in bad health before a bleeding commenees. The 
whole body is weak and an accumulation of the ashes of 
the burned corpuscles of the blood in the depressions of 
the lungs, is the consequence of the general weakness of 
the body. These ashes are the so-called scrofula of which 
all the medical works are constantly discussing. Ashes 
create an alkali if saturated with water, and the alkali cor- 
rodes the tissues or what in the lungs is but gas and 
water. All lungs are but oxygen gas given a consolida- 
tion, and a small amount of water. A few meandering 
blood vessels are also in the organs. The only way to 
prevent the lungs corroding is to prevent the ashes of the 
blood congregating in the depressions of the good organs. 
A good, strong body will prevent it. If one can not be 
obtained, the person is compelled to give a world of mor- 
tals a good-by in a few years. He or she will be more 
useful and far happier in a better world. (See Consump- 
tion.) 



WHAT IS A COLD? 

All persons are confident that a cold is produced 
by an exposure of the person to a cold atmosphere, or to 
what will chill a body, and cause a commencement of a 
fever. It is quite time a better explanation of the great 
affair be given. A cold is but a disordered stomach and 
closing of the pores of the body. It is produced by a con- 
traction of the skin. A closing is produced either by a 



126 CAUSE AND CURE) OF DISEASE. 

great exposure of the body to a cold or damp air, or by a 
want of. a sufficient amount of good air. Either cause 
is giving a disordered stomach. A cold atmosphere is 
contracting the skin as cold always contracts any sub- 
stance, and a want of escape of the force of the body 
through the pores will disturb a stomach's action and 
cause a disordered condition. A current of what is giving 
life and consciousness is the worker of a stomach, and it 
is working exactly as a current in a solution of metal is 
plating a piece of a different metal — a separation of the 
cells of the food and sending the whole cells to the blood, 
where they are called corpuscles. A want of electricity in 
the atmosphere will cause exactly the same kind of disor- 
dered stomach that a contraction by cold produces. A 
closing of the pores from a want of sufficient force to 
keep them open is the cause of this character of "catching 
cold." A nauseating condition of the stomach is always 
felt by the person when a cold of this character is obtained. 
A regulating of the stomach by a glass of common soda 
and water and opening of the pores by a wash of alcohol 
or ammonia is the cure. 



COLD AND COUGH. 

A cold is only a closing of the pores of the skin by a 
cold or damp or bad atmosphere. All conditions of atmos- 
phere are upon a person in a day and it is only when a pore 
is opened to a considerable extent that a cold or damp 
atmosphere will close it. The operation is to give the 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 1 27 

internal organs a protection from cold and it is but a tem- 
porary operation in most cases. When the pores are 
closed the whole organization is thrown out of order so far 
as the work of electricity in it is concerned. The diges- 
tion is at once stopped, and when this occurs the strength 
begins to fail. A cough is produced, and it is continued 
until the whole system is in order. The cough is only a 
consequence of mucus upon the pipes, and the mucus is 
created by a gas of the stomach being mixed with the 
water on the surfaces of the pipes. A disordered stomach 
is always generating a gas, and it passes up the oesopha- 
gus and out the mouth and nose. When the breath is 
obtained a portion of it is thrown into the pipes and 
mixed with the water on their surfaces. A cough is com- 
pletely cured by correcting the stomach. A correction of 
the stomach is performed by an opening of the pores of 
the skin. A glass of soda and water is able to do a por- 
tion of the digesting of food when the stomach cannot. A 
wash of the body with alcohol will open the pores. 



PNEUMONIA. 

A great burning of a lung is performed when pneu- 
monia is given a person. 

The disease is produced by a contraction of a mem- 
brane that enshrouds the lungs. This delicate affair 
becomes contracted when a cold is on the surface suffi- 
cient to prevent an escape of the force of the body. When a 



128 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

cold contracts a surface of the body, a contraction of every 
membrane of this character takes place. 

All the mucous surfaces are contracted, and it is 
because a cessation of the escape of the electricity of the 
body would cause a burning of every gland if it was not 
protected. A bare effort to save a gland from destruction 
causes a burning of a gland by its own current of this 
influence. A canopy of the gland is caused to contract as 
the surface of the hotly is contracted when a cold is chilling 
it. A mere cojjying of the work on the surface as a copy 
of a disease is taken. 

The contraction of the membrane around the lungs is 
the cause of the increase of electricity in these organs. 
The increase is the cause of the heat. A burning of the 
lungs commences. The current will destroy the organs in 
a few days if it is not allowed to escape. 

An escape is effected, in part, through the pipe and 
nose and mouth. When the current is in a large person's 
lungs, a shorter time is needed to destroy the organs; a 
greater current is burning. 

The cause of the disease is always a chilling of the 
body. It is cured by a washing of the chest or whole 
body with alcohol or ammonra as often as three times a 
day. A dose of medicine is unnecessary. If the appetite 
is wholly destroyed, a glass of common soda and water 
will restore it. A cure can be effected in any case in three 
days. Nothing is wanted but an opening of the pores. 
In using alcohol or ammonia in the washing of the person, 
a temperature of the room of seventy degrees is proper, 
and a fear that an uncovering of the person while washing 
need not be entertained. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 129 

CHOLERA. 

This scourge of the human family is the consequence 
of an earthquake. A hare depletion of the atmosphere of 
a sufficient amount of electricity is the cause of all the 
bacilli in a blood vessel or stomach. The scourge is sure 
to come where an earthquake of considerable extent has 
taken place in the old world. 

A comparison of the chronology of these puffs of elec- 
tricity from the earth, with the ravages of cholera, will 
prove what is stated. 

To-day the disease is still produced where a few 
months ago the whole coast of Spain was disturbed by a 
sweep of this influence out of the earth. The small 
extent of disturbance on the coast of Italy a few months 
previously gave an equal extent of cholera in that country. 

Only a cold season of more violent winds allayed the 
disease in Spain for a short time. The disease is decreas- 
ing in extent in proportion to the acquiring of an appropriate 
condition of atmosphere. 

When an earthquake takes place a great puff of elec- 
tricity is passing out of the ground, and it sweeps through 
the atmosphere, decomposing all the small and unseen 
creations in it. 

The atmosphere itself is partly decomposed, or the 
gases in it, and it requires months or a year to produce a 
natural condition of the element in such locality. The 
ground is also depleted of the influence to some extent. 
The great vomiting of the earth of what affords it power is 
copied in the person in the disease. So does every disease 
that is not contagious in a person or animal, obtain its 



130 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

character from a globe. We have long delayed the most 
important disclosure that a world is as qualified to com- 
municate its diseases to persons, for the chance to give it 
with some care. It shall be given now, and it will be found 
that all diseases that are not a contagion from persons and 
animals, or produced by accident or the unnatural con- 
dition of a person, are obtained from the ground, and cor- 
respond with a disease of the ground. 

The earth is able to cause a copy of its condition to be 
given a person in the same way a person can give a disease 
to another. The means is only a photographing of a con- 
dition of the earth's surface upon a human organization. 
In this work there is a greater effect than in a copying of 
a decomposition of the skin upon another skin. A world 
is able to discharge a great deal of electricity, and it does 
all the while, and particularly where the surface is not 
closed by the contracting power of cold. This strong cur- 
rent is what creates a greater effect upon the system than 
a current from a person. It is only the current a globe 
generates that produces what is called gravity. The same 
work is performed by a common magnet in a less degree. 

A soil is sure to photograph its condition upon a per- 
son, and it is doing it in all places upon the earth. A 
cold, damp soil will create a cold and damp condition of the 
system. It is seen in the many cases of chills and fever, 
and, in fact, all so-called malarial diseases. Exactly the 
same character of complaint occupies each organization in 
these diseases. A difference in the.extent and violence of 
the disease in persons corresponding to the depth and 
dampness of the soil is always found. There is no poison of 
the character called malaria. A prairie of very damp 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 131 

earth is giving a violent character of chills and fever. A 
country that is only clayey and a trifle damp will produce 
a lighter character of the disease. 

A soil that is only watered as often as it rains never pro- 
duces these diseases, and it is always more or less gravelly 
and of no great depth above a rock. Let it be understood 
that in every case of malarial disease a copy of the condition 
of a soil is produced in a human being, and nothing else; 
that what is called malaria is a want of electricity in the 
atmosphere. A mere contagion of the ground's complaint 
is made in every person who is suffering from malaria, 
so-called. The several fevers of the countries of a hot 
latitude are only aggravated conditions of what is termed 
malarial fever — barely a greater degree of the same disease. 
Only a deeper and damper soil is producing the difference. 
Often it is found in such places that by going on the water 
to sleep a fever is avoided. This is the case in any part of 
the world where the soil is as deep and damp as it is in 
Central America or on the coast of India. 

A want of sufficient electricity in the blood is the sole 
cause of every disease of the human family attributed to a 
poison in the atmosphere, except such as are caused by too 
much of the influence in the element. (See Chills and 
Fever and Dysentery.) 

Every change in the condition of the earth is fol- 
lowed by a corresponding change in the condition of the 
system of a person to some extent. The same character 
of disease constitutes the correspondence. 

When an earthquake takes place a puff of electricity 
from the ground causes the electricity in the atmosphere to 
unite with it, and it ascends with great velocity into the 



132 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

sky, and passes, as all the atmospheric electricity does, to 
a pole of the earth. The sweep of this great current 
through the air decomposes each particle of substance in 
it, and some of the oxygen and nitrogen of the atmosphere. 
It leaves the gases of this element partly deprived of the 
good influence that supports hfe. The same condition of 
air is produced over a locality where nitro-glycerine is ex- 
ploded, or where the current of the atmosphere is attracted 
to a greater one in motion, as in cases of volcanic erup- 
tions and cyclones. Around a mountain whose crater is 
filled with an outflowing current of electricity the atmos- 
phere becomes incapable of supporting life in small ani- 
mals, and it is partly destructive to human life. 

This condition of the atmosphere, where it is of great 
extent, is the cause of an outbreak of cholera. Nothing else 
can produce the disease. The cholera is not contagious in 
persons. Its coursing over a portion of the world is 
merely the effect of a shifting of the locality of a condition 
of atmosphere that produces it. It moves westward only 
because a world is whirling in the opposite direction, and 
every change of the magnetic currents of the earth pro- 
duces a change in the course of this disease as far as mount- 
ain ranges permit. 

In other words, a condition of the atmosphere will 
follow a coursing of the earth's magnetic current in a 
measure. The tracing of the course of the disease as it 
has existed in the past will disclose this fact. In a coursing 
of the disease only an obedience to a movement of a par- 
ticular body of atmosphere is performed. 

The mountains of a country will prevent its coursing 
over the country. It will be found that the disease has 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 33 

never crossed a high range of mountains or moved eastward. 
Wherever it has existed it has heen in a valley, and on 
such depressed parts of the earth as could be swept by a 
body of atmosphere. 

The disease does not originate on a western continent 
because the continents are smaller, and a vast ocean is 
causing a constant discharge of electricity on their bor- 
ders. 

The cholera originates only where a great continent is 
bounded by a smaller body of water. Look at its locali- 
ties. Examine the occurrences and marches of the disease 
and the character and data of earthquakes. 

Now let us ascertain why an atmosphere deprived of 
electricity will produce cholera. We shall in this discus- 
sion put an end to the worthless discussion of the ques- 
tion whether an insect is the cause of a disease that is 
breaking out wherever a great earthquake has taken 
place. 

The blood is only water and corpuscles. All of the 
substance in a blood except water is corpuscles. The cor- 
puscles are only the cells of plants and animals that are 
taken into the stomach as food and bestowed to the blood 
by the process of digestion. A plant cell possesses a 
nucleus, an animal cell does not; consequently part of the 
corpuscles (cells) of the bloody possess nucleuses, part do 
not. The same proportion of each character of cells exist 
in any person's blood, as the proportion of plant and ani- 
mal food eaten bears to the whole amount of food. The 
proof of its correctness is seen in the existence of cells in 
the blood with and without a speck of substance. A brain 
is only corpuscles squeezed out of a great artery at a sharp 



134 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

turn in it, and the cells (corpuscles) of the brain will not 
only prove that corpuscles are cells of both plant and ani- 
mal substance, but that a brain is only a great mass of 
such corpuscles. 

When a sweep of the current of electricity obtained from 
the atmosphere is made through the blood, it decomposes 
the corpuscles. This simple operation is all that converts 
a white cell into a red one, and burns the red one still 
more. Only a current of this influence coming from the 
atmosphere into a blood, and passing through it, is per- 
forming every part of the work of developing an animal 
or human body. 

The philosophy, beyond what is done in the blood, can- 
not be given now. A nose was only left open that a cur- 
rent of electricity of the atmosphere could pass to the 
blood. It is the affair that expands lung and heart and 
artery and vein and capillary. The blood fills a heart 
artery and other blood vessels. The atmospheric gases 
fill a lung. All that discharges the gases from the lungs 
is the contraction of the organs when the current of elec- 
tricity has passed to the heart and blood. The expansion 
of a blood vessel is as certain and regular as the expan- 
sion of the heart or lungs. The current is able to expand 
a world also, and it causes our globe to swell and con- 
tract as the heart does, and these pulsations are as neces- 
sary as a pulsation of the heart. A globe is producing 
cells and tissues in every plant that grows, and neither 
cell nor tissue could be constructed without a puffing of a 
current of electricity of the earth. 

The decomposition of the corpuscles merely produces a 
greater current of electricity in the blood. For no purpose 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 35 

is a corpuscle decomposed in the blood, but to afford a 
greater current of electricity in a channel of circulation 
than can get into it by a passage from the atmosphere. 
All that a current of electricity of greater extent in a blood 
vessel is created for is to cause a puff of the influence to 
press out at the surfaces of a blood vessel, other organs 
and body. A puff is condensed at the orifice of escape, and 
a cell is constructed by the operation. A bubble produced 
on a heated water is a perfect copy of the work in every 
particular. 

The greater current produced in a blood vessel is only 
a result of a decomposition of corpuscles by the general 
current that is passing in pulsations through the blood. 
When this current is insufficient to decompose a corpuscle 
an insect is created of the cell. Exactly the same charac- 
ter of work, that is, making insects of corpuscles, is 
carried on in creating insects in a pool of stagnant 
water, where anything that is constructed of cells has 
decomposed. A mere conversion of a cell of a plant or 
animal into an amoeba or bacillus is performed. The 
want of sufficient electricity in the atmosphere to furnish 
a current to the blood that will decompose a corpuscle is 
the cause of a corpuscle becoming an animal. 

The blood vessel will always contract when a current of 
electricity in it is insufficient. The absence of the influ- 
ence is seen in all contractions of the body. When an 
insect is created of a corpuscle, a shrinking of the blood 
vessels commences, and at the capillaries first. 

The contraction of the vessels presses the water and 
insects towards the organs of digestion and heart. This 
work is continued until a quantity of the water is pressed 



136 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

into the stomach and the liver and bowels and brain. 
Only a pressing of blood vessels upon the water in them 
produces the flow of the uncolored water into these organ- 
izations. No burning corpuscle is allowed to get out of a 
blood vessel or stop burning. Only the undecomposed cor- 
puscles and the insect is passed into the cavities of the body. 

As soon as this water, filled with the cells and insects, 
is pressed into the stomach, the insects are at once 
increased and then decomposed as any food is in this organ, 
so far as digestion can there be performed. This nauseating 
condition of water is all that produces a vomiting and 
purging — the only means of saving life. The insects and 
water are finally thrown out of the system. When this is 
performed, the patient is generally without any electricity 
in the body, and a total collapse of the blood vessels is a 
consequence. 

The blood is prevented becoming a stagnant water by a 
sweep of electricity through it. A cell cannot become an 
insect if it is decomposed in the blood. A blood vessel 
cannot contract if it is full of the influence that is causing 
it to course around the system. Those simple propositions 
disclose the pievention and cure of cholera. A cure for 
cholera is a current of electricity in the blood vessels and 
body generally. A great waste of the blood has occurred 
in the disease and but little is left for a current to course 
in. A cure is thus prevented unless the whole body is 
given a current until a corpuscle and water can come into 
the blood. A bath of a very warm water with some salt 
dissolved in it is the best means of giving the whole body a 
species of stimulant. A gradual absorption of a current 
of the good power from the water is certain. A patient 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 137 

should sip a warm drink, with a small amount of food that 
is wholly digested. Soup of vegetables is the best food. A 
slow and steady recovery of strength is then possible. A 
loss of blood and strength is all that occurs. 



WORMS. 



There are two kinds of worms given construction from 
the food. One is about seven or eight inches long, wholly 
round, and constructed in the intestines. The other is 
what is called a tape- worm and it is given creation in the 
adult stomach. The cause of the worm is the same in 
both cases. A contact of the cells of food in the stomach 
or bowels is all there is of the construction of a worm of 
the body. An intestine permits a construction in one 
direction and a stomach compels a coiling of the creation. 
A control of the operation of construction by the walls of 
the organs the worm is in is all that causes a difference in 
the shape of the creature. 

The only cure of the disease is a decomposition of the 
worm; an alkali or acid will perform the task. Common 
baking soda as often as a meal is eaten will certainly 
destroy the worm in a week or ten days. A chance to dis- 
cover this cure is given a person by a discharge of the 
pieces of the worm every day after the soda is taken a 
couple of times. Let every .person who is certain of the 
possession of a tape-worm adopt this perfectly harmless 



138 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

The means of knowing whether a creature of this 
character is in the stomach is a weight felt in the organ, 
and a constant desire for a sour drink; also a constant 
desire for a mouthful of ashes or mud. The call for these 
affairs is an intelligent operation of a current of electricity 
in a person's mind which is informing one that a remedy 
is in the desired object. The cause of a coiling of cells of 
this kind is the absence of just such affairs as are called 
for from the food a person is eating. People where maple 
sugar is made and used will possess most tape- worms. A 
sugar is but mica partly decomposed, and it neutralizes a 
good acid of the stomach. 

A stomach cannot decompose all the cells of the food 
in it that are not carried to the heart in the thoracic duct. 
When this is not the case a coiling of the tiny affairs 
around a common focus is a mere work of creating a 
creature from cells already prepared. 

A common affair of this character can be seen in a 
vinegar bottle ; when the substance in the vinegar is greater 
than an acid can decompose, stringy tape-worm substance 
can be found in the bottom of the bottle. It is called 
"mother" by the good farmer's wife. The "mother" is only 
partly developed and it is unable to be more so as a bottle's 
sides do not permit a discharge of electricity into the 
vinegar of sufficient quantity to give the "mother" a living 
character. A tape- worm is a creature with life and it is a 
fact that a spontaneous generation of a creature is made 
in every instance of the worm. A cell of a plant gives it a 
body. A current of electricity gives it life. A current is 
obtained from a nerve in the stomach. 

Both worms are without life when out of the body. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 39 

A small amount of organization is given each when it is 
given life. A small head capable of being protruded 
through a mass of substance in the organs it is in is all there 
is of the organization. Not a particle of stomach or diges- 
tion is in the creature, and one is not wanted. A growth 
is given by a union of cells already existing ; growth from 
a digestion is a construction of new cells. 



DIABETES. 

The disease called diabetes is given a half dozen 
descriptions by the physicians, and all of them are more 
or less incorrect. The passing of the cells of the food 
through the walls of the stomach into the liver is the 
cause of the disease. When in the liver the cells are con- 
tracted and given a slight amount of decomposition by the 
action of the blood in the liver. This action produces the 
sugar of the urine, when the disease is possessed. All 
sugar is given the world by a similar process. In a maple 
plant or sugar cane it is performed, and the cells of the 
plant are but the coral cells of the soil and particles of the 
mica in it. Only a contraction of the substance and a 
slight amount of decomposition produces sugar from it. 
The disease is the same as Bright's disease in several 
respects. The blood is depleted of its corpuscles. A 
weakness of the body is produced. Death is certain in 
this case. A liver instead of the kidneys obtains the cells 
of the food, and a change is made in them. In the differ- 



140 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

ence in the manner of giving the cells of the food to the 
urine and the difference in their condition when in the 
bladder are the complete differences between Bright's dis- 
ease and diabetes. 

Alcohol is the principal producer of the disease, but 
any work of the decomposition of the walls of the stomach 
if continued long will give a causeway for the passage of 
cells from the stomach to the liver. An opening of suffi- 
cient extent for the exudation of the cells of food from the 
stomach, and their absorption by the liver is the disease. 

The symptoms are about the same as in Bright's dis- 
ease, but there are a few additional effects. The stomach 
is always out of order, and a bad taste is always in the 
mouth. A general wasting of the body is continued until 
death comes and gives a relief. There is no cure for the 
disease. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER. 

Inflammation of the bladder is a decomposition of 
this organ. All organs constructed of corpuscles are 
more easily decomposed than any other, and are, there- 
fore, the more affected with so-called inflammation. The 
symptoms of the disease are a pain at the lower point of 
the bladder at first, and then at the top. It is increased 
by pressure over it upon the surface of the abdomen. The 
urine is high colored and scanty. It scalds the urethra in 
its discharge. The cause of the disease is a want of force 
called electricity in the organ. The want of force is pro- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE). 141 

duced by a generally weak system. A certain cure is a 
good body in the way of strength, and a bathing of the 
lower parts of the abdomen with alcohol. A few days of 
good appetite and such bathing will be a work of conquest 
of the disease. 



BLEEDING OF THE KIDNEYS. 

Bleeding of the kidneys is produced by the inflamma- 
tion of the organs, or by gravel in them. The gravel is 
the cause where there is intense pain in the organs ; when 
it is produced by inflammation these are the symptoms of 
the disorder to be observed : A fullness in the kidneys 
and a dull pain and frequent desire to urinate and a pain 
after the act is performed. A rupture of a tiny blood 
vessel is the cause in both cases ; in one case by a decom- 
position of the organ, in the other by a scratch. The 
causes of the rupture and scratching must be removed in 
order to stop the bleeding. (See the disease described.) 



BRIGHT'S DISEASE. 

Bright's disease of the kidneys is a passage of the cor- 
puscles of the blood through these organs into the bladder, 
and its discharge from the body. The cause of the dis- 
ease is the decomposition of the membranes of the kidneys, 



142 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

where the blood comes in contact with them. The cause 
of the decomposition is the constant burning of the 
so-called epithelium, by the action of the blood. The 
excited condition of the blood in some fevers and in the 
use of alcohol capacitates the fluid for a destruction of the 
epithelium. There is no cure for the disease, for a crea- 
tion of the epithelium can be performed but once. 

The sufferer must commence contemplating a better 
world and a better use for himself or herself in it. 

The disease can always be detected by an examina- 
tion of the urine. If it contains albumen or corpuscles 
it discloses the fact when heated, or given a few drops 
of a powerful acid. General weakness of the body and a 
sick headache are among the causes. Dropsy is sure to 
follow in time. 



CONGESTION OF THE KIDNEYS. 

The congestion of the kidneys is a greater accumu- 
lation of blood in them than is natural. The disorder is 
discovered by the feeling of fullness in the region of the 
kidneys, a pain occasionally, a streaming of what can be 
called scorching along the urethra to the bladder and a 
heated and excited condition of the bladder. Frequent 
attempts to urinate are made, and the color of the urine is 
dark or reddish and it often contains blood. Sometimes 
the blood will come through the kidneys without change. 
A general disturbance of the body always follows and it is 
only a want of chance to get the water out of the blood 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 143 

vessels that produces the disease. A closing of the pores 
of the skin is the cause of the disorder and it is hut 
necessary to open them to cure it. A washing of the whole 
body twice a day with alcohol will cure the disease. A 
glass of soda and water will correct the condition of the 
stomach if it is wanting correction. 



RETENTION OE THE URINE. 

The retention of the urine in the bladder is the con- 
sequence of a want of electricity in the organ. A weak- 
ness is all that is causing a want of action. A gen- 
eral weakness of the body will always produce it if the 
weakness is of great extent. Sometimes the bladder 
becomes paralyzed from the want of force in the muscles 
with which it is connected. It then will barely remain as 
it was when paralyzed, and continue to contain what 
urine there was in it. Of course death will follow this 
disease if it is permanent. Only a partial operation of the 
bladder can be performed, and then with the assistance of 
a catheter. A gradual destruction of the body will fol- 
low. 

If a stoppage of the flow of urine is caused by a swell- 
ing of the gland at the mouth of the bladder or by an 
inflammation of the organ itself, a cure is found in the 
removal of these obstructions. A decomposition, as in all 
cases of the inflammation of the body, is the work of 
obstruction. A good strength of the whole body will give 



144 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the cure. A washing of the abdomen with alcohol will 
assist greatly in the removal of the difficulty. 



INCONTINENCE OF URINE. 

A weak muscle at the neck of the bladder permits a 
frequent and partially uncontrolled discharge of urine. A 
child is most likely to possess the disease. It is an effect 
of a want of strength in the muscles generally, and it is 
overcome when a greater strength is obtained. 

A wash of the abdomen with alcohol every few days 
will accomplish a cure. A very nutritious food will do it 
in time. Sugar and oil or resin mixed will surprise a 
doctor and patient at what they will accomplish in curing 
an incontinence of the urine. Give a couple of spoonsful of 
sugar and half as much resin twice a day and in three days 
a cure is effected. Eesin is oil of pine consolidated. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS. 

Inflammation of the kidneys is, as in every case of 
inflammation of a gland, produced by a want of electricity 
in them. Only a want of electricity in a gland or any 
part of the body or in any object of the universe can 
cause a decomposition of it. The kidneys are but masses 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 45 

of corpuscles pressed out of the blood at the ends of 
the great blood vessels that terminate in the organs. 
The absence of a sufficient amount of electricity in the 
blood will in some cases cause a decomposition of 
these organs to commence. All that is wanted to cure the 
disease is a better condition of the blood. A better con- 
dition of it is obtained by a good digestion and a good 
air. Where both are obtained a kidney will not further 
decompose. The cure, therefore, is a good digestion and 
good air. Wash the back with alcohol or ammonia as 
often as a painis felt there. This is a partial cure. 



STONE IN A BLADDER. 

A gravel stone and the cause of its formation are 
affairs which no physician has been able to explain. A 
crystallization of a fine substance around a thing of which 
a physician has no knowledge, and which is the cause of 
every crystal that has ever existed or ever will exist, is 
what is necessary to explain in order to describe what a 
gravel stone is. 

A corpuscle of the blood is a cell of a plant or animal 
obtained from the. food. 

A decomposition of the cell takes place, and from its 
decomposition a speck of ashes is bestowed to the blood, 
and a soul of the cell. A current of electricity is also 
given the blood, and it is forced out of a pore and consoli- 
dated into a cell of the body. A soul of the cell is only a 



146 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

lining of the affair. It is never decomposed in any cell of 
a world of organizations. It is the preparation for a bet- 
ter organization. It is the human soul. It is the plant 
soul. It is the animal soul. It is the triumph of crea- 
tion — the angel of life. 

A soul of a cell is a very small affair, but it is quite 
large enough to constitute a nucleus for a stone of crys- 
tals. A stone is only an accumulation of crystals. A 
mere attraction of a bit of ashes of a blood to the sur- 
face of a soul of a cell constitutes the fearful affair called 
gravel. A considerable quantity of gravel is a stone, when 
consolidated. A cell lining is the thing that is causing a 
gravel or stone, and it is only able to do so when it is per- 
mitted to continue in the system. A chance to give a 
gravel to the gall bladder or a kidney or a ureter or a blad- 
der of the abdomen is only a halting of a cell soul in one 
of these organs. A cell will decompose in a stomach and 
its lining be cast into the organ. It finds its way to the 
duodenum, and from there to an intestine, and finally 
from the body. A liver contains a great quantity of blood 
that is slowly passing through it, and a cell is burned up 
in it ; in time a speck of ashes is created in every operation 
and the speck finds its way to a gall bladder — a mere 
receptacle for the ashes. A cell lining is often halted in 
the gall bladder. When it is, a stone is formed, of course. 
A dozen of them are often made in this small ash tub. A 
death will take place if the stone is so large it cannot pass 
to the intestines. A jaundice is as certain as a stone in a 
gall bladder is formed. All that constitutes these stones is 
the attraction of ashes around a soul of a cell, and which 
is so small and transparent it cannot be seen. 



CAUSK AND CURE OF DISEASE. 147 

A gall stone is destroyed by giving the sufferer a 
plenty of exercise and good air. A walk of a couple of 
miles and a good laugh will do more to destroy the stone 
than all a doctor can prescribe. A doctor can pour an 
acid into the stomach, and a speck of it will get to this 
bladder. A slight decomposition of a stone takes place. 
A great stomach will perhaps be able to dissolve one in 
time. The whole of the work can be performed by a walk 
and good air. 

A stone in a kidney is a great wonder. It is con- 
structed in the organ. A mere cell lining is performing 
the work, and it will do a perfect work. All that a kid- 
ney is for is to strain a blood of its cell linings. A water 
is pulled out only to afford a causeway for a transporta- 
tion of these unseen objects. If it were not for a carrying 
of these cell souls to a bladder and from there to an atmos- 
phere, a blood would discharge all its superfluous water 
through the skin. A class of animals called mollusks, 
can disclose a gall stone or any character of stone known 
to the human body, in a shell. All the souls of the cells 
of a mollusk's food as well as the water of the body, and 
partly decomposed cells of its food, are cast upon the sur- 
face of its body; a conglomerate of crystals and bone and 
ashes is the consequence of the discharge. A human body 
would possess a shell like that of a crab or oyster if a water 
and cell lining were together cast upon the surface of the 
body. A crab's character of shell would be on every 
person if a kidney did not strain a blood of part of its water, 
and all the souls of its corpuscles. A blood of a dog is 
given the same character of straining, and so is that of all 
creatures, except such as possess shells. 



I4» CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

A cure for a stone in a kidney or urinary bladder con- 
sists of a glass of common soda and water. A couple of 
them each day for a month. A good walk and good air 
are able to assist the soda. 

When a doctor is giving an acid or alkali to destroy a 
stone he is doing just what is now advised. A current of 
electricity given a blood by the stomach is the wonderful 
worker that decomposes a stone. 

The current is the destroyer of a crystal in a bladder 
or any organ, and it will complete the work if a person is 
worth saving. If he is not, it will not. 

A crushing of a stone in a bladder is often performed. 
A bladder is then prepared for more stones. They are sure 
to cpme. 

All that is necessary to prevent a crystallizing of the 
ashes of a blood is a plenty of exercise and good air. 



GALL STONES. 

(See Stone in the Bladder.) 



GLANDERS. 

Only the decomposition of the glands of a nose and 
throat is glanders. The cause is the overworked con- 
dition of the horse. Contagion is possible, and with man. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 149 

The only means of curing the complaint is by giving the 
glands that are decaying as many new corpuscles as there 
are of those destroyed. A cure is of course then; a good 
blood and digestion are the instrumentalities. A dose of 
medicine is of no use. 



OZ^ENA. 

Ozaena is a decomposition of the cartilage of the nose. 
It is caused by a brain failing to constantly construct 
cartilage. Give the brain a good supply of blood and a 
cure is certain. 



NASAL CATARRH. 

Only a contraction of the muscles of nose by a sudden 
cold is giving this disease. A wash of the whole body 
with alcohol is the cure. (See Hay Fever.) 



BLEEDING AT THE NOSE. 

An accumulation of blood in the body is a cause of 
the bleeding at the nose in all children. Only good 
evidence of a growth of the body is to be discovered from 



I50 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

the affair. Let the blood flow as long as it will, anci 
then a splendid condition of the body and feelings is 
enjoyed. 



CATARRH. 



A catarrh is cured by the person possessing the dis- 
ease using his or her hands and feet in an honorable em- 
ployment at least two hours each day. A cure is as cer- 
tain as the practice of the remedy. 

All that is wanted in order to cure the disease is a 
withdrawal of the cm-rent of electricity in the brain that 
is crowding out at the surface of the throat and nose, and 
depositing upon such surfaces the decomposed corpuscles 
of the brain. 

Catarrh and diphtheria are exactly alike except in 
severity of the corrosion of the throat, and both are pro- 
duced by the operations of the brain. 

The old forgotten quinsy sore was only diphtheria. 
The change of name was one of a thousand accomplish- 
ments of silly persons, who were anxious to show other 
silly persons how much they knew, and wise people how 
little. 

A person of active brain, if unemployed in the way of 
using hands and feet, will have catarrh. A case cannot be 
found that will contradict this statement. A washing of 
the outside of the face and throat with alcohol will assist 
a cure. 



CAUSB AND CURB OB DISBASB. 151 

CBRBBRO SPINAL MENINGITIS. 

A most ugly name is given the complaint called 
spotted fever; the name should be "decomposition of 
the marrow of the spinal column," at the apex of the col- 
umn. This is all there is of the disease. The cause of it 
is the operation of the spirit of a dead person in actually- 
taking a mortal out of the world. There was never a 
case of the disease, unless the spirit of a dead person was 
giving it to a living person for the purpose of taking the 
individual out of a mortal sphere. Every case of the dis- 
ease is a confirmation of this fact. A worthless person or 
one who is capable of getting a better condition of existence 
is always the victim. Often it is a drunkard or libertine, 
or often it is a child who has lost a parent, or a parent 
who has lost a child. 

The symptoms of the disease are a general languor, 
which is followed by a chill and fever and great headache 
and nausea. All the greater muscles possess pains and 
those of the neck and back the most. The head is 
drawn back and a curve of the spinal column is produced 
for awhile by the contraction of the muscles. At first the 
brain is excited, but this condition is soon followed by 
despondency, with a conviction that death awaits the suf- 
ferer, and after this a sleep of death is constant, so far as 
the body is concerned. It is of the character of a trance, 
and it is for the purpose of giving the person a glimpse of 
the promised land in a species of dream. 

A child is given the disease only that a parent may 
obtain its care and culture in a better world. A parent is 
given the disease that a child in a world of souls may have 



152 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

a good teacher and comforter. A cure of the disease is 
out of the question. A cure is never effected. Only a 
complaint that is mistaken for this is cured, when it is 
supposed that this disorder is cured. It is given to pro- 
duce death; a physician cannot prevent this consequence 
of it. Only a destruction of consciousness by an opiate 
and a stunning of the senses is to be performed, and this 
to save a sufferer from pain. A cure cannot be per- 
formed. 



SPINAL IRRITATION. 

The spinal column is given an inflammation in the 
disease called spinal irritation. The cure is a wash of the 
whole length of the back with alcohol as often as three 
times a day. The cause of the disease is a want of force 
of the brain. A current of electricity is wanted in the 
spinal column. A decomposition of the marrow is com- 
menced; all the body is given agitation by the complaint, 
and a fever as well; the back feels sore and weak. The 
brain must be given rest and good blood. 



SPINAL MENINGITIS. 

Spinal meningitis is a decomposition of the marrow 
of the spinal nerve, and in a bone of the column. It is 
produced by a weak brain failing to fill the cord with cor- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 53 

puscles, and a weak blood failing to furnish corpuscles for 
a marrow in a bone. A weakness of the back and pain at 
all times when a motion of the body is performed are the 
essential symptoms of the disease. A fever is always 
excited in a short time. A good blood and good brain are 
competent to cure the complaint. Get them at once by 
rest, good habits, good food and good air. Nothing else 
will be wanted except a frequent washing of the back with 
alcohol. 



HEADACHE. 

The headache is a creation of a bad stomach and a 
good stomach is to be obtained in order to remove the 
calamity. A glass of common soda and water is the cure. 



SICK HEADACHE. 

This most prevalent of all disorders shall obtain an 
explanation if we can give one. A knowledge of the 
cause for the complaint is what is wanted. A cure is 
possible if the cause is found. A cause is in a change of 
the temperature of the atmosphere. A sudden change from 
a warm to a cold condition of the air will, in a very sensi- 
tive person, produce a sick headache. A bare checking of 
the flow of a force of the body is the operation. A bare 



154 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

opening of the pores of the skin is a cure. A plunge into 
a warm bath will deliver the sickness and a pain in the 
head to the water. 

A checking of the outflow of a current of electricity 
from the body at once disarranges the stomach. A cold 
is of this character of complaint. A sick headache is but 
a small cold. A cold is but an extended sick headache. 
A quicker suppression of the outflow of a force of the 
body than takes place when a cold is obtained is the cause 
of a quicker complaint of the sick headache order. 

A bile is cast into the stomach when a work of this 
character is performed. It is the affair that makes a per- 
son sick or nauseated. A bath of warm water is a cure of 
both disorders. A wash of alcohol or ammonia is another. 



VERTIGO. 



Vertigo is a stunning by a current of electricity sent 
to the head by the stomach. The current will sometimes 
actually knock a person over. When a person in good 
health has become weak from toil and want of food, a good 
dinner is sure to give more or less vertigo. The stomach 
is able to give a good digestion to the food and in doing 
so it generates a great current of electricity which passes 
to the brain over a nerve and blood vessel with such force 
it actually pushes a person over or the head forward. 
There is no power of the will to stop the pushing and it 
could not stop it if it could operate itself. In this opera- 



CAUS3 AND CURS OF DISEASE. 1$$ 

tion a world of scientists can discover a pushing of a cur- 
rent of an almighty power in a way to satisfy them that it 
is useless to attempt to oppose a will more powerful than 
their own. The stronger will will push the person pos- 
sessing the weaker one and it is useless for the pushed 
person to resist it. 

When the vertigo is over a grand condition of the 
body is felt. All persons should endeavor to obtain the 
disease. It is a guarantee of good work and a good strong 
body. A glass of soda of the cupboard and water will do 
a great deal in the way of producing vertigo. 



LICK. 



The parasites called lice are the ends of the hair 
given animation. A glance at the form of a louse and its 
legs, and a bulb or base of a hair and its branches, will 
give a good conception of the origin of the species. A louse 
is only possessing a mouth and stomach and means of 
clambering over the head. A base of a hair is without 
such capacities. A decayed hair is the origin of the louse. 
All animals, with the exception of a few of the largest, are 
produced from plants, and in every instance of the origin 
of a species a soul of a cell or of all of the cells of the plant 
is the affair that is given conversion into a creature. The 
reader is referred to the work on the Origin of Species 
advertised in our catalogue of books for a better explana- 
tion of the wonderful operation of giving life to a dead 
organization of a plant or other creature. 



156 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

All that is necessary in order get the lice from one's 
head is to wash the scalp with alcohol as often as once a 
day for a week. A louse is not capable of devouring the 
fluid and it will soon decompose under its action. A fine 
tooth comb is a good wiper of parasites from the head. 



EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON THE 
SURFACE OF THE BODY. 

A constant direction for the use of alcohol as a wash 
upon the surface of the body is to be observed in the arti- 
cles on diseases ; and it is of importance to give a descrip- 
tion of the effects of the substance when so used. A word, 
only, is necessary to give the description, and it can be 
comprehended by any one. 

The effect is but the opening of the pores of the body 
from the surface to the blood, and which permits the cur- 
rent of electricity of the blood to pass to the surface of the 
body. The way the pores of the body are opened is barely 
a pulling of the current of the blood through the pores to 
the openings in the skin. A constant evaporation of the 
fluid operates as a suction upon the pores, and only a con- 
tinuation of the suction is wanted to complete the open- 
ing of the pores. 

The same operation is performed when ammonia is 
used, and this substance is as good for the purpose as 
alcohol except that it possesses a bad smell, and it will, in 
a small measure, burn the skin in time. All that an exter- 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 157 

nal remedy is capable of doing is to either open the pores 
or coop a current of the body in a particular place. The 
cooping is wanted where a sore is to be healed. 

The power of alcohol is of no consequence if the same 
amount of evaporation of the substance occurs in the 
same time. All that warm water or steam can do is to 
open the pores, as alcohol does, but it is a slow process. 
The sensation of the heat of the water is all that causes 
people to believe that a warm water is the more efficacious. 
A heat is but a motion of intense character, and it is in a 
a measure a way to open pores, but it is a very poor way; 
the work is slow and imperfect. 



HYDROPHOBIA. 

Hydrophobia is a most astonishing demonstration of 
the fact that a current of electricity in the brain and nerves 
of a rabid, or what should be called an excessively excited 
creature or person, can communicate a similar excitement 
of the brain and nerves to another creature or person. 
Only a copying of the excitement of a brain and nerve in 
the rabid creature is given the bitten creature or person. 
A similar copying is seen in the contagion of a bad anger 
in both animals and people. The difference is merely in 
degree of excitement, and the lesser excitement can be 
given increase in a creature or person of more excited cir- 
culation than the angry object possessed. An angry cow 
or horse or person can give hydrophobia to a person of 
highly excitable organization and it is often done, Only 



158 CAUSE AND CURB OF DISEASE. 

a communication of an excitement of a creature or person 
is performed in any case of hydrophobia; and a contact of 
a bite is the means of giving a greater excitement than 
can be given by a mere presence of the creature or by a 
sight of an infuriated one. 

A tooth is a construction at the end of a nerve and it 
is discharging a cm-rent of electricity of the nerve all the 
time. When the brain is excited it discharges a greater 
one and it will cause a poisoning of a flesh it is inserted 
in. A bite of any angry creature will poison the flesh 
and it is only a want of greater excitement in the animal 
that prevents the bite giving hydrophobia. A species of 
humor is discharged from the tooth which gives a poison- 
ing to the flesh but a current of electricity from the brain 
is the giver of the fearful convulsions of the body. 

It is but a current imparted to the blood of the bitten 
person or animal creating a condition of the influence in 
the blood similar to that of the current in the excited brain. 
A copying in all the currents of the blood is the cause of a 
brain obtaining a copy. When it is given the brain, a 
convulsion is given the whole of the body. An exhaustion 
of the current in the brain is all that gives a cessation of 
the spasm. When a brain is all destroyed by the excite- 
ment a death is given the body. 

The convulsions are not different from those of the 
body in case of anger, except in degree. It is, in fact, a 
furious anger of the diseased object, and it is all the per- 
son or creature can bear without an explosion of the cor- 
puscles of the brain. Every particle of the operation of 
giving the blood a condition capable of thus exciting the 
brain can be prevented by a periodical stimulating of the 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 59 

body. A stimulant is found in whiskey or in a dose of 
chloroform at the nostrils. Either substance is capable of 
overpowering the action of the influence in the blood that 
produces the disease. The stimulant should be given 
every day for a week and if it is chloroform that is used 
it should be adulterated sufficiently to enable a person to 
bear it. 

The hydrophobia is thus overcome. It is sure to be 
given demonstration and it is then a mere question as to 
the amount of stimulant wanted. 



CHLOROSIS. 

(Green Sickness.) 

Chlorosis is a disease of girls who are coming into a 
condition of puberty or capacity to bear children. The 
cause is the greater quantity of blood in the circulation, 
and it is but the blood giving a color to the skin and pain 
to the head and lassitude to the body. The want of force 
in the blood to press its corpuscles into the incipient 
gland is a cause of the continuance of this condition of . the 
body. The organs constructed of the blood corpuscles are 
too slowly being developed; an assistance to the work is 
needed; a plenty of moderate exercise in the open air is the 
best assistance. It is all that is needed in most cases. If 
the girl is so feeble that this cannot be had, a washing of 
the body with alcohol and an occasional bath in warm water 
is of great importance. Let the diet be of farinaceous food 



l6o CAUSE AND CURE OK DISEASE. 

and without a stimulant. Only a period of effort of the 
blood to construct a good gland is" to be borne, when the 
disease is gone. Let every girl affected with the disease 
bear in mind that she is only awaiting a change from girl- 
hood to womanhood, and that a cheerful spirit and plenty 
of good air are great agencies in expediting the change. 
Give no medicine. 



MISCARRIAGE. 

A premature delivery of the foetus is a miscarriage. 
There are two causes, and in every case a good object 
is accomplished. A child is given a death before it is 
given a life of misery. A physician has yet to discover 
that a miscarriage of a child is but an escape of the off- 
spring from a life of misery and sickness. The one 
cause of the miscarriage is a deficient development of the 
foetus; the other is an injury given the object by the 
mother. Either destruction of the proper unfoldment of 
the child is a sufficient cause for the death of the being. 
When a child is given creation in a perfect way it is sure 
to be given a proper delivery from the bathroom of its con- 
struction. When it is not, a death before it is given con- 
sciousness of any extent is as certain, except in a sufficient 
number of cases for a good teaching of a community 
upon the consequences of a parent's folly or a bad condi- 
tion of the mother while bearing the child. Every off- 
spring given unnatural expulsion from the mother's per- 
son, no matter what its period of development, is given a 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 161 

good development in a better world, and a purpose of 
creation is not defeated by a want of unfoldment in a 
mortal world. 

When a foetus is given a premature discharge, it is 
only a delivery of a child from a condition of degradation 
and suffering. It is a blessing to the offspring and parent 
both. An almighty capacity in a current of the power 
that is giving a child construction is controlling the whole 
work of giving offspring to the parent. It is the arbi- 
trator of the question of the fitness of the child for an 
existence with mortals, and it is sure to make no mistake. 

"When the developing affair is without a competent 
supply of corpuscles for its construction, or the power of 
the current of the uterus is so limited a good operation 
cannot be performed, a death is given the wonderful 
creation. Its decomposing substance at once gives a cur- 
rent to the uterus sufficient to expel the whole of it. The 
mother is glad to be rid of it. It is a most sickening and 
annoying object when it is dead. Tbe death of the foetus 
is the cause of the miscarriage. The foetus is the wholly 
developed child. A partly developed offspring is but a 
part of a human construction, and should be called the 
embryo. All that is wanted in order to permit the mother 
to recover from the effects of the premature delivery is a 
plenty of rest and acquisition of strength. A depletion of 
her strength is all that gives her disease by the operation. 

A great shock of the body by a fall or any mechanical 
injury of great extent or by a fright or grief will cause the 
death of the offspring and a miscarriage of it. The pur- 
pose of this death and miscarriage is to avoid the birth of 
a child whose organization is injured. The shock is 



1 62 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

capable of giving a bad condition to the offspring, and it is 
of great importance to save a child from a life of imperfect 
capacities and character. A few children are given exist- 
ence who are thus incapacitated, but only a sufficient num- 
ber for a teaching of the community. A Creator is car- 
ing for them, and a consciousness is on their minds that 
a compensation for their misfortunes is awaiting them. 

The only objection to the bearing of their misfortunes 
this class of persons are making is the defeat of an exercise 
of their capacities. They want to accomplish something 
in the world. A chance should be given them, and it is 
furnished by a good education or a work they can per- 
form. A good occupation of their faculties is a source of 
happiness. 

The continued flow of blood in a case of miscarriage 
is the consequence of a bleeding ovary. It has not ceased 
to furnish corpuscles for a child's construction. When it 
is given a gradual checking of its discharge it is only a 
good closing of an abortive operation. 



SYPHILIS. 



An enormous army of sufferers of both sexes is parad- 
ing a country with a scab, and an ulcer and a scar pro- 
duced by this loathsome disease — the most destructive 
and loathsome of any in a human body. 

The origin of the disease is so well known it requires 
no description and none is given here. The character of 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 63 

the disease shall be completely described, and a cure, so far 
as a cure is possible, shall also be given. The commence- 
ment of the disease is barely a commencement of the 
decomposition of the gland of the penis. A pyaemia 
results from the pus of the decomposing gland, and a 
current of almighty propensity gives the construction of 
the pus. 

Every person afflicted with the malady can perform 
his own doctoring and obtain a better result than any yet 
obtained at the hands of a physician. The remedy shall 
be costless and without a particle of injury to the body. 

The disease is but a whirling current of electricity in 
a blood, exactly of the same character as the whirling 
current in an acid and which alone constitutes an acid. 

A blood is filled with the tiny vortices of this almighty 
power, and at every sharp turn of a blood vessel, and at 
many of the terminations of the capillaries, a corrosion of 
the glands takes place. The corrosion is the same in all 
respects as that produced by a powerful acid, and it is 
only ameliorated by a growth of new tissues. 

A current that is doing the corroding is withdrawn 
from one point of the body after a while, and given another 
point for carousal. Only a change of the locality of the 
current gives a .tissue or gland a chance to heal. If the 
change was not made a corrosion would continue at one 
point until a person was destroyed by the increase of the 
wound. A fact which no physician will accept is now 
given. A preparation for continuing the miserable condi- 
tion of a person was actually planned by the author of the 
disease. It is carried on until a whole community can observe 
the consequence of a degraded character. A complete 



164 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

cure of this disease is prevented by the same author. A 
person who is so degraded in his or her organization as to 
contract the disease by his own act cannot be forgiven 
and one is not. A certain death in a few years or less is 
on the card of every soul who is possessed of the disease. 
Only a medicine can prevent a death in a few weeks. A 
person who has inherited the disease can be given a cure, 
or, what is better, a change of the disease into one that can 
be cured. Its inheritance gives a modified form of the 
malady, and the current of the blood that is corroding the 
body is so slow and scattered, It can be practically annihi- 
lated and finally caused to become a mere case of inflam- 
mation of a gland. A person thus afflicted is made well by 
a good blood and plenty of rest of the mind. All the 
glands of the body are attacked by the whirling affair in 
the blood and it is always a destruction of a gland of a 
vital character that gives death to the person. A proof of 
the fact that it is a current of electricity whirling in a blood 
that constitutes the disease can be found in this operation 
of the disease. Every gland of the body is but a mass of 
corpuscles of the blood pressed out of the fluid at a sharp 
turn in or at an end of the blood vessel. Every gland is 
located at a curve or at an end of a blood vessel, and the 
greater the vessel the greater the gland. The brain, heart, 
liver, kidneys, prostate gland, and all others, are all 
constructed by a squeezing of corpuscles out of the blood. 
All that renders a difference in the organs is the com- 
pactness of the pressing, and the absence of blood in 
some of them. 

A syphilitic current is sure to be lodged at every gland 
and pressed into the gland if there be blood in it. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 65 

The heart and kidneys and liver are the glands most 
likely to be given such a destroyer. The heart is the most 
likely to be affected of the three. A thousand persons 
have perished of heart disease, so-called, produced by a 
destroyer of the character described. A destruction of a 
portion of the gland will permit the blood to pass out of 
its proper channel, and give a complete destruction to the 
entire organ in a few hours. 

Let us now give a species of cure for every case of the 
disease. It consists of a dose of common soda and water. 
We are frequently asked if we are intending the gas- 
charged water of the druggist's fountain, when we use the 
term soda water; we mean bicarbonate of soda or com- 
mon baking soda. A dose of this wonderful cure of 
every curable disease will give a syphilitic person ten 
years' extension of life, and more, if it is taken as often as 
once in a month in several doses. A few glasses of the 
affair during a week is sufficient. 

Every remedy now employed by the profession of 
medicine to abate this disease is but a common stimulant. 
The most common is calomel, or an acid. All that either 
of these substances perform, is to give the blood a great 
current of electricity. When in the blood a growth is 
performed more rapidly than it is without the current. All 
growth is produced by a pressing of electricity out of the 
blood, and its consolidation into cells on the surface of the 
blood vessels. The additional current given the body by a 
decomposing substance in the stomach, is the cause of the 
healing of the sores produced by the disease. This is all 
that is performed, except a partial destruction of the 
whirling vortices in the blood. This partial destruction of 



1 66 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

the vortices is caused by the current passed to the blood by 
the stomach. If the current was forcible enough , a com- 
plete annihilation of the destroyer would be accomplished. 
This is not possible. 



MENSTRUATION. 

A discharge from the womb of a female of the decom- 
posed-corpuscles of the ovaries is the operation called 
menstruation. The ovaries are only testicles of the 
female and they are located in the sides of the abdomen 
above a portion of the womb. Every woman of good con- 
stitution is getting a supply of corpuscles in these organs 
for their reception, and the blood is giving them. A mere 
pressing of the corpuscles of the blood into these so-called 
glands is the construction of the so-called eggs of the 
organs. The corpuscles are identically the same as those of 
the blood or of any other gland of the body, and their pur- 
pose in the ovaries is to afford a substanee for the construc- 
tion of a child to an extent that capacitates the child for 
devouring food, and to furnish the food after a swallow by 
the child is possible. 

The corpuscles of the ovaries are constantly decom- 
posing, as those of the brain or nerves are, and it is the 
decomposed portion of them that is passed to the uterus 
in the period between a discharge of the uterus and its 
recurrence. The whole of the decomposed substance is 
cast out of the uterus in the same way a bladder is emp- 
tied. The action of the discharge is occasioned by an 



CAUSE) AND CURE; OF DISEASE). 167 

opening of the womb by the gas and electric current gen- 
erated in the organ while the decomposed substance is fur- 
ther decomposing. In the decomposition of the corpus- 
cles in the ovaries a burning of them is performed and a 
color is given them, as in the blood. A further decompo- 
sition of the matter in the uterus gives the mass a darker 
color. Some of the matter is not burned at all and it is 
of the same color as a brain. In the employment of the 
corpuscles in the construction of a child they are not 
burned at all and this is because they are at once passed 
to the uterus for a child's construction. For all the par- 
ticulars of the work of constructing a foetus, the chapter 
on reproduction must be read. While a woman is without 
a developing child in her body the corpuscles are simply 
wasted, and it is to punish her for a neglect of giving the 
world children that a periodical discharge of a disgusting 
substance is provided. A constant annoyance and degrading 
condition of the body is upon a woman who is not per- 
forming a production of children, and a greater amount 
of suffering and exhaustion and annoyance is given the 
unproductive woman than one who is in the practice of 
giving human beings to the world. 

The cessation of the discharge is at once produced 
when a conception of the origin of a child is performed. 
A use is then made of the corpuscles. In a very large or 
strong woman a partial discharge of the corpuscles will 
occur for a few months, in some cases. In all the balance 
of the period of gestation the corpuscles are all employed 
in the development of the offspring. A word upon the 
disordered condition and operations of the ovaries and this 
work is complete. 



1 68 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

The cessation of the discharge is produced by a weak 
condition of the body, and a want of corpuscles in the 
blood. When the blood cannot furnish the corpuscles the 
ovaries commence to decompose, and it is the poisoning 
of the whole organization by the decomposed substance 
that gives cause to a variety of diseased and ulcerated 
parts. The uterus is without any substance in it, and it 
commences to collapse or contract. When an ovary is 
wholly destroyed the woman is given a death. She is con- 
sidered of no use in the world, by her Creator, and is 
called to a better sphere. 

The cure of the disorder is a good blood. All can 
learn how to get it by a careful consideration of a half 
dozen articles in this work. 

When a woman is in a good condition of strength and 
digestion the ovaries are given a proper condition. 



VAGINISMUS. 

Vaginismus is a contraction of the vagina as a conse- 
quence of a want of muscular strength and it is spasmodic 
as a rule. A want of force is the giving of the disorder, 
and it disappears when the body is strong. The hymen, 
which partly encloses the smaller passage of the vagina, 
is often given a contraction also with the contraction of 
the vagina. The only consequence of the disorder that is 
of moment is the prevention of sexual intercourse with a 
husband. A good digestion and good blood will give a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 169 

destruction to the impediment. A very few females are 
unable to give the husband a wedded right of the above 
character on account of a smallness of the vagina. In 
such a case the female is only given an escape from a 
childbirth that would cause her death. The husband is 
only to admit this fact and get a divorce if he is a good 
person. 



PAINFUL MENSTRUATION. 

A pain is often produced in the uterus and back 
before and during a discharge of the character described. 
It is wholly produced by a pressing of the uterus by the 
gas and force in it. The back is only crowded by the 
extended organ. The cause for the greater pressing in 
some women is the operation of the sexual organs during 
the period of accumulation of the matter in the womb. 
The frequent excitement of the sexual organs produces a 
contraction of the neck of the uterus, and it is less easily 
opened when the operation is wanted for a discharge of the 
substances in the organ. A class of women are constantly 
excited in the way described, and because a parent was 
giving lust a better attention than a development of his 
children. A passion for a sexual pleasure is bestowed to 
the children of the imprudent parents, and it is a life-long 
curse to them. The female who is obtaining pain when 
a discharge of the womb takes place is but a wanton in 
her contemplations of the offices of the sexes, and because 
it was out of her power to prevent it her conduct in worn- 



170 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

anhood will depend wholly upon a good culture of her 
mind. She is sure to become a prostitute if she is not 
given a good teaching in the way of morality, and if she 
cannot become married is as sure to be a corpse at the 
end of forty-five years. 

A woman in this condition is an object of pity, and 
she is the most unhappy person of a community. She 
will mourn for a place in a lover's arms, and give her hus- 
band a constant attachment as affectionate as a child's for 
its mother. The cure of a painful menstruation is an 
entire abandonment of all contemplations of the sexual 
conditions and a wash of the back and abdomen every 
week with alcohol. 



PROFUSE MENSTRUATION. 

When a woman is giving a greater amount of corpus- 
cles to the ovaries than is proper a greater discharge of the 
uterus is of course. The cause of the greater amount of 
corpuscles in the ovaries is a greater excitement of the 
sexual organs than is proper at all times. A painful and 
profuse discharge is always one operation. A cause for 
one is a cause for the other. "When both are the conse- 
quences of a great and almost constant excitement of the 
passion of the sexual capacities the woman is only a more 
injured victim of an improper practice of the parents of 
her being while she was developing, and it is an unmis- 
takable exhibition of the unfitness of a father for a parental 
office. His daughter is a miserable woman and given a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE). 171 

life of pain and sorrow by his brutality and want of good 
sense. 

A physician is as frequently such a destroyer of the 
health and happiness of a child as a person of another 
calling in life, and it is a standing admonition to the whole 
community that the physician is a destroyer of a child's 
body, when a child of his is of the constitution that is 
described. 

A cure for the degradation of the woman is not possi- 
ble. Only an amelioration of her suffering can be per- 
formed. This is accomplished by the abandonment of 
sensual contemplations and a frequent bath with alcohol. 

Every woman afflicted with a painful and profuse 
discharge should marry as soon as possible and give her 
mind a discharge from all contemplations of a companion- 
ship with the opposite sex. Her health will be improved 
by one-half and her husband will be given a good check 
upon a passion of his. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE VULVA. 

Inflammation of the external sexual organs of the 
female is produced by a bad condition of the urine. There 
is so much sugar in the fluid it is sticking the lips together 
in a measure, and a constant motion of them in walking 
or, as in girls, in playing, gives the irritation and sore- 
ness. A sugar is in the blood and it is got there by eating 
a great quantity of the substance. An acid of the charac- 
ter of common soda and water is a perfect remedy. 



172 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

LEUCORRHCEA. 

("Whites.) 

Leucorrhoea is but a chronic condition of inflamma- 
tion of the walls of the vagina, and it is the consequence of 
a neglect to cleanse the Organ sufficiently in case of inflam- 
mation. The same remedies are still wanting. (See In- 
flammation of the Vagina.) Give the body a good and 
long rest. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE VAGINA. 

Inflammation of the vagina is but a poisoning of the 
surface by decomposing matter in it. Wash it clean with 
a weak alkali or water and alcohol often. 



RUPTURE OF THE PERINEUM. 

A space of muscle between the vagina and rectum is 
given the name perinaeum, and in the operation of child- 
birth it is sometimes ruptured. A physician should be 
called and the wound so contracted and given opportunity 
to heal that a permanent or long-continued sore will be 
impossible. The only way to give the wound a chance to 
heal is to keep the edges of the parts together. A physi- 
cian can describe the process and perform a part of it. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 1 73 

The mother is to be assisted in the discharges from the 
bladder and bowels. 



ITCHING OF THE VULVA. 

An itching of the external sexual organs of the female, 
of great constancy, is another consequence of an excitement 
of them to an improper extent. A wash of the parts with 
alcohol is a competent remedy. 



DROPSY OF THE SCROTUM. 

The scrotum is the sac that contains the testicles. It 
is another construction of the corpuscles of the mother's 
ovaries, and given creation before a child can swallow. It 
is only stretched when the testicles are developed. This 
is capable of being seen in the fact that it is less solid and 
much thinner after the age of puberty. A dropsy of the 
sac is but a filling of it with water of the blood. The 
spermatic cords and their veins are drawing out the water 
from the blood and carrying it to the testicles. They dis- 
charge it into the scrotum by a pressing of it through the 
pores of the organs. The cause of the disorder is an 
abuse of the organs of reproduction, both in excessive sex- 
ual intercourse and in masturbation. The blood is first 
strained of its corpuscles, and when only a few are in it 



174 CAUSE AND CURE OF DiSKASH. 

the water is pulled through. (See the chapter on Repro- 
duction.) A cure is in giving the blood a plenty of cor- 
puscles and washing the scrotum with alcohol every few 
hours. 



CANCER OF THE WOMB. 

A cancer of the womb is only a decomposing point in 
it — a mere decay of a part of it. A cancer proper is only 
possible in the pores of the muscles and skin over a great 
bone. The ashes of the blood plug up the pores and when 
the amount is great a corrosion of the flesh occurs. 

The so-called cancers of the other parts of the body 
are but decomposing parts produced by a want of strength 
in them. The cure of a cancer in the womb is a good 
condition of the body. A current of electricity in the 
walls of the organ is all that is wanted. 



TUMORS OF THE WOMB. 

A so-called tumor of the womb is but a wart on its 
interior or outer surface. A nerve is discharging its cor- 
puscles into the organ on its surface or is giving it a con- 
struction of them on the outside. The attraction of a cur- 
rent of electricity in the organ or on its surface is the 
cause of the discharge of the corpuscles from the nerve. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 1 75 

The constant excitement of the sexual organs is the cause 
of the construction and the presence of these warts. It 
is always accompanied by a greater discharge from the ova- 
ries and womb. The same cause exists for each. (See 
Painful Menstruation.) 

The tumors can be removed by cutting; a growth of 
them again is as certain as the first. A good occupation 
of the mind and a good body are the preventives. The 
so-called polypus of the womb is only a wart of the shape 
of a toadstool. 



STERILITY. 

A want of capacity to bear children is the misfortune 
called sterility. It is another instance of a bad origin of 
the person. (See Ovarian Tumors.) The woman is with- 
out a current of electricity in the uterus sufficient for 
pulling a soul of a creature into it at copulation. The 
cause of the insufficiency is the fact that the person was 
given existence by the conversion of a soul of a bird into 
her organization. The cause of the inability for the womb 
to become excited is the want of activity in the clitoris. A 
practice of cohabitation with a strong husband is all that 
is possible to be performed in order to give better develop- 
ment to the organs of reproduction. A male person is 
never in the fault if he is well. A slight instigation of the 
excitement of the female organs is all he can perform in 
the office of coition. The old superstition of the origin of 
a child being in the semen of the male person is about to 



176 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

take its departure from the doctor's faith. It is tne most 
degrading and inexcusable claim in the whole of the mis- 
takes of the physician. It is a mere scapegoat of expla- 
nation of the commencement of a child. "When it is gone 
a world of people will have discovered what the origin of 
all beings is. 

Occasionally a woman is covered with fat so thick a 
soul of a creature cannot be given the womb. It cannot 
be pulled through so great a mass of inactive substance. 
In such a case a sterility is in the woman. It is obviated 
only by a loss of the fat. 



TUMORS OF THE URINARY 
PASSAGE. 

Tumors of the urinary passage are produced in the 
same way, and cured in the same way the tumors of the 
uterus are. A sensual woman is the possessor. A nerve 
of the organ is too much excited. 



DISPLACEMENTS OF THE WOMB. 

There are three kinds of displacements of the womb 
and in each case only a want of strength in the organ is 
the cause. A contraction of the organ allows it to sag 
down into the vagina, the mere consequence of its becom- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 77 

ing smaller. This is called falling of the womb. A tip- 
ping of the top of the organ backward is the disorder called 
retroversion of the womb; when it is tipped forward it is 
called anteversion of the organ. A mere falling over of 
the weakened sac is this character of displacement. A 
cure is to give the organ a correct position by an instru- 
ment and continue it there until its own strength is suffi- 
cient to do it. A physician is needed to perform the 
replacement of the organ. A dose of medicine for the dis- 
order is as absurd as a cutting of a cord to give a package 
a good support. It is wholly an error. 



SWOLLEN TESTICLES. 

Swollen testicles are but decomposing organs or 
glands. A testicle is but a sac constructed of corpuscles as 
a bladder is, and its excavations are produced by a decom- 
position of a portion of the corpuscles in it. The decom- 
position is performed when puberty is reached, and the 
current of electricity in the organ generated by the decom- 
posing is the stretcher of the organ. It is only stretched 
in the act of enlargement. The want of discharge of the 
corpuscles of the organ obtained from the blood constantly 
is the cause of the disorder called swelling. A poisoning 
of the gland is the operation. The failure of a discharge of 
the organ is caused by a want of sexual indulgence. A 
waste of semen by a nocturnal discharge is insufficient for 
the operation of clearing the testicles of the bad substance. 



178 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

A bathing of the organs with alcohol and cohabiting with 
a wife are a cure. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE WOMB. 

A decomposition of the corpuscles of the wornb is its 
inflammation. The organ is but a sac constructed of the 
corpuscles of the mother's ovaxies before the child is born 
and it is given a stretching afterwards. A considerable 
amount of fresh corpuscles are given it by the nerves after 
a youth has obtained the capacity for bearing children. 
When a force is wanted in the whole body the womb is 
apt to be given an inflammation. It is a commencement 
of decomposition only. Mortification, so-called, is the 
conclusion of the decomposition in all cases if the process 
is not checked. A want of good blood and good digestion 
is always the cause of the disorder. Get these good 
things and the disease is cured. 

A washing of the abdomen with alcohol is the only 
assistance possible. It is a great assistance. 



GATHERED BREASTS. 

Gathered breasts are but the consequence of a decom- 
position of milk in them. A gland is also commencing to 
decompose; the inflammation is barely this. A constant 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 79 

washing of the hreasts with alcohol is all that is necessary 
and a child should nob he allowed to nurse while the hreasts 
are in an inflamed condition. The disease is prevented 
by the use of a pump if the child does not empty the 
breasts. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE PROSTATE 
GLAND. 

Inflammation of the prostate gland is caused by a gen- 
eral debility of the body and it is only another act of decom- 
position of a gland. Give the abdomen around the pelvic 
bone a good wash of alcohol frequently and the body a 
good digestion and strength. 

Enlargement of the prostate gland is but a result of 
inflammation of the organ. It is cured in the same way 
an inflammation is. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE OVARIES. 

Inflammation of the ovaries is but a decomposition of 
the delicate organs, and it is produced by a general weak, 
ness of the body. Any debilitating operation of the sys- 
tem is sure to give a gland a commencement of decompo- 
sition or inflammation, and it is the gland that is most 
active that is first effected. The ovaries are always active 
in a measure, and they are so delicate as to be affected as 



l8o CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

soon as the uterus is in any degree weakened. A child- 
birth or a miscarriage or a disease of the abdominal 
organs of any character will more or less affect an ovary. 
A cure is in a wash of the front of the abdomen with 
alcohol every day and a good digestion and good air. 



OVARIAN TUMORS. 

An ovarian tumor is a great growth of the ovary only. 
A pressing of the corpuscles of the blood into the ovary, 
and the inability of the corpuscles to decompose and pass 
to the uterus as fast as the blood supplies them is the cause 
of the increase of the organs. A cause for the greater 
supply of the corpuscles than can be got out of the ovaries 
is a want of sexual excitement of the female. A pulling 
of the corpuscle into the uterus is not performed, and 
because a current of the uterus is wanted. The cause of 
an absence of sexual excitement is a want of activity in 
the clitoris of the genital organs. This curious organ is 
the provoker of sexual excitement, or rather, it is the 
organ that is excited first and most. It is but a gland, 
and placed where it can call for co-operation by the male 
person, a species of penis of the female and it secretes a 
lubricator of the whole vulva. If it is inactive the 
female is without desire for a cohabitation, and she is also 
without fondness for the opposite sex, of any great extent. 
The cause of the inactivity is in the origin of the person, 
and a physician has yet to discover the origin of any being. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. l8l 

A bird is the origin of all persons who are without much 
sexual desire, and in every face of this class a bird's 
(usually a hen or rooster) eyes and beak can be seen, and 
a bird's disposition is also in the person. A laugh of the 
person is the cackle of the bird, and a constant talking or 
singing is performed by the person. An ovary in the 
female of this variety of being is but copying the accumu- 
lation of corpuscles in the alimentary canal of a hen or 
other bird. The bird is given eggs by a great quantity of 
corpuscles being discharged into the alimentary channel of 
the creature. The copying of this operation in the human 
copy of the bird by a construction of an ovary is but an 
attempt to give her an egg in the body, and it is a success 
of some extent. The great growth of the ovary is the 
great attempt. 

The cure is only a washing of the front of the abdo- 
men ever^ day with alcohol, and a calling of the corpuscles 
to the uterus by coition. A female of the character 
described and possessing the disorder is given a good 
excuse for getting a strong and sensual husband and giving 
him a chance to destroy ovarian tumors. If the female is 
not married she should be. 



CHILD-BED FEVER. 

Child-bed fever is the same disease as peritonitis, 
and it is a consequence of the decomposition of a portion 
of the afterbirth in the womb. The puerperal fever is a 
similar disease, and it is caused by a decomposition of the 



182 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

whey of the glands of the breast in the organs of the 
abdominal cavity. A competent discussion of the prepara- 
tion of the glands of the female is given in the chapter on 
reproduction. In the fever of a childbirth $be remedy is a 
continual washing of the whole abdomen with alcohol, and 
a cleansing of the vagina with a mild alkali. When the 
fever commences to subside the bathing can be stopped ; 
only a cleansing of the vagina is then necessary. In all 
abdominal inflammations a putrid substance in some organ 
is the cause. 



BALANTES. 

Balantes is the inflammation of the head of the penis 
and the foreskin. It is caused by a poison of the unused 
corpuscles of the blood that are pressed through the gland 
while the foreskin is over it, and always during boyhood. 
A washing of the whole organ frequently is a cure. 



SORE NIPPLES. 

Sore nipples occur as often as a milk in the breasts is 
allowed to decompose, and it is but a part of the operation 
of decomposition. A child will draw the decomposing 
milk from the glands and when it is done nursing a quan- 
tity is permitted to stay on the nipple. It is there a 



CAUSE AND CURB OF DISEASE. 1 83 

poison to the delicate portion of the breast and gives it a 
start toward decomposition. A nipple is only a bunch of 
the corpuscles of the gland protruding through the skin, 
and it is always calling for a child to grasp it. A want 
for a child is instigated by this uneasy affair. 



CONTRACTION OF THE FORESKIN 
OF THE PENIS. 

The contraction of the foreskin of the penis either 
before or behind the head of the organ, is only a conse- 
quence of a want of force in the whole body. A current 
of electricity is wanted in the skin of all the body. Give 
a good exercise and food and air to the body and a cure is 
certain. 



GONORRHCEA. 

Gonorrhoea is a decomposition of the gland called 
head of the penis. This gland, like all the others, is but 
a mass of corpuscles discharged from the blood. It is at 
the ends of great blood vessels in the penis. All that 
gives the condition and color of the heart is the same 
character of construction. The gland of the penis easily 
commences decomposing and it is never stopped in the 
case of syphilis. The syphilis is but decomposition of 



184 CAUSE AXD CURE OF DISEASE. 

this gland continued until the whole body is poisoned by 
its pus. The disease is given the gland by a pus of the 
same character in the vagina of the female. 

The gonorrhoea is an inflammation of the interior 
of the gland, and it is only a slight affair of this character. 
When it is given a good wash with alcohol every two 
hours it is cured in a couple of days. The coitus with a 
female possessing "whites" will often produce the disease. 



GLEET. 

Gleet is only a continued gonorrhoea. 



SPERMATORRHCEA. 

Spermatorrhoea is a drizzling of semen from the testi- 
cles. It is the most easily cured disorder of the body, 
although a physician is not living, or ever lived, who 
could observe it. All that causes the leaking is the weak- 
ness of the testicles, and a want of strength in them is all 
there is of the disease. A consequence of the leak is the 
utter prostration of the whole body, and a gradual coming 
on of idiocy. The cause of the disorder is the misuse of 
the sexual organs, generally by masturbation. All that is 
necessary to do to give a complete cure is a washing of the 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 185 

scrotum with alcohol every day for a week, and ceasing to 
misuse the organs in it. 



VARIOCELE. 

Varicocele is an enlargement of a testicle, and it is 
caused by a species of rupture of the blood vessels of the 
body where the spermatic cord is connected with the body. 
A great quantity of blood and corpuscles are discharged 
into the testicle, thus increasing its size. When the burst- 
ing of the blood vessels occurs a change of life or puberty 
commences. A great quantity of unemployed blood is the 
cause of the rupture. A small brain and small chest is 
always found in the person having varicocele. There is no 
way to cure it except by a removal of the testicle. This can 
be safely performed and a physician must do it. • A care of 
the scrotum and severed cord is of great importance when a 
removal is performed. 



CANCER. 



A cancer is a plugging of the pores of the body by the 
ashes in the blood. The ashes are obtained by a combus- 
tion of corpuscles in the circulation. A want of sufficient 
force in the body to open all the pores to the surface will 
permit some of the pores to be gradually filled up with 
the ashes and when a considerable number in one locality 



186 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

are filled a commencement of corrosion of the tissues is 
given. A mere corrosion of the flesh when an alkali 
is on it is the operation. The ashes and water in the pores 
produce the alkali, and it is only a failure to cast out the 
ashes that gives the corroding mass. A great deal of 
waste of discussion as to the cause of a cancer, and waste 
of money in attempting to cure one can be prevented by 
only a knowledge of the simple fact just stated. A cure is 
in giving the pimple a wash with alcohol every few hours 
after it is first observed. The evaporation of the alcohol 
will give a pore a clearing, and a cancer is prevented. 
When one is actually corroding the flesh, a cure is out of 
the question. A constant poisoning of the tissues is the 
prevention of the cure and the long plugs in the pores, 
called roots of the great scare, prevent a perfect cleansing 
of the ulcer. If one can be perfectly cleaned it will heal at 
once. Some are actually cut out quite around the plugs ; 
a cure is then perfected. 



BOILS. 



A boil is a punishment for depleting the body of a 
power to keep all the pores open. A sensual person is one 
to be given the punishment, and in many cases gets it. 
When a boil is not given, rheumatism is. A boil is a 
bursting of a volcano of force from a battery beneath it. 
Every boil is on a muscle, over a marrow or great artery. 

A want of force in a blood or marrow sufficient to con- 
tinue all the pores open will permit their closing, and a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 87 

suppression of the force is soon followed by a partial open- 
ing of a greater causeway to the surface. A force that is 
insufficient to open all the pores will open a considerable 
hole to the outside of a muscle, in a single locality. This 
is a boil a burning of the flesh until a pus, or what may 
be called lava, is created. A boulder is constructed of 
the unburned part of the muscle, and it is only the 
unburned tissues congregating in the pus, and closely 
adhering. When a boil is completed an eruption takes 
place, and the lava is discharged. A boulder is thrown 
out, and in this work a perfect copy of the work of a vol- 
cano that puddles and tosses out boulders of granite and 
pumice is made. A great surprise, is it not, that a boil 
on the soil of the body will give a perfect explanation of a 
volcano — its cause and office? 



MALIGNANT FACIAL PUSTULE. 

Occasionally a species of boil develops on the cheek 
or other parts of the face, and in a few days causes the 
death of the person. It is exceedingly painful and it gives 
a black and offensive pus to the sore. A physician is 
always dreading the appearance of such a scourge of a per- 
son. The cases are rare that have been cured, and it is 
because the disorder is not understood. A nerve that is 
discharging the substance that whiskers are constructed 
of, is the giver of the sore, and it is only a discharge 
of the decomposed corpuscles of the nerve into the 



1 88 CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

flesh that causes the sore. The cure is as simple as the 
cause. A washing of the part affected with alcohol every 
few minutes will cause a discharge of the substance upon 
the surface, and when it is all out a healing is performed. 
A nerve is never able to produce but one such sore, and 
then at a period of life when tbe activity of the nerve is 
greatest. 



SEPTICEMIA ENPY^MIA. 

Blood poisoning is the disease called pyaemia or septi- 
cemia. The cause of the disease is a passage to the blood 
of a small portion of a pus of a corroding sore. The pus 
causes all the glands to be given a particle of the matter, 
and it isj pressed into the gland by a pressing of the cor- 
puscles of the blood into the organ. When in the gland 
the pus corrodes the corpuscles in the affair, and a further 
spread of the generator of poison is accomplished. Any 
corroding gland will give the disease, and so will a corrod- 
ing marrow ; a corroding muscle, or blood, or bone, will 
not, and for the reason that the organs, except the blood, 
are without a current of electricity in their cells, and the 
blood coagulates in the way an egg albumen does. It is a 
packing of its corpuscles. Only a violent current of elec- 
tricity in the blood, given by a powerful stimulant, will 
discharge the poison upon the surface of the body through 
the pores. A gallon of brandy or a couple of gallons of 
whiskey should be drank as fast as the person can give it 
space in the stomach, and the sore should be cleansed as 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 89 

often as possible. If there be an internal sore or break of 
a bone, the stimulant is all that will be of service to the 
sufferer. 



VARICOSE VEINS. 

A varicose vein is only a ruptured blood vessel given 
a great increase by time and further strain, The vein is 
small. The skin answers for a cover of the vessel in such 
cases, and it is of the greatest importance to have a good 
skin in such diseases, and one always does have. The 
possessor is able to get a good leather from a piece of his 
skin by tanning. The origin of the person is always an 
ox or cow, and the face and character will show it. The 
blood is so extensive in the body it is forcing open a small 
blood vessel. The person is always as clumsy as an ox, 
and in most cases as good natured. There is no cure, 
and it is hardly necessary to have on,e. The only incon- 
venience is the appearance of the deformity. 



ANEMIA. 



Anaemia is a most fashionable name for a weakness of 
the body and want of good blood. The consequence of this 
condition of the system is a commencement of a decom- 
position of the glands. Those used the most will com- 



190 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

mence to decompose soonest. A brain is the one used 
most of all; the uterus of the female is perhaps the next; 
the liver and kidneys and bladder are all in their turn 
given an ulcer just in proportion to the want of good 
blood in the body. Like a number of different vegetables 
in a kettle of water on the stove, those that are the least 
capable of resisting the effects of the water decomposing 
soonest, the glands of the body are destroyed by a work of 
decomposition. There is but one remedy for all the conse- 
quences, of a weakness of the blood. It is the preparation 
of a good blood. Have good food and good air. 



CARBUNCLES. 

Carbuncles are but great boils. (See Boils.) 



RHEUMATISM. 

When a person is informed what the cause and char- 
acter of rheumatism is a denial is at once given if the per- 
son informed is suffering from it, or if he or she ever has 
suffered from it. The cause is, in every instance, an 
exhaustion of the body by an abuse of the reproductive 
faculties, and every person who is or was a sufferer from 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 191 

the disease knows that it is true, so far as he or she is con- 
cerned. A want of electricity in a muscle is the fearful 
disease. A want of the power in the nerve is the neural- 
gia, and the cause of the wantas the same in every case. 
A child can have rheumatism by a weakness of its mus- 
cles, but a parent deprived the child of the good power by 
an abuse of the office of cohabitation before the child was 
born. An aged person may have the disease, but an 
abuse of these faculties occurred in days that are passed 
with him or her. A maid of perfect chastity, so far as 
the opposite sex is concerned, may have both neuralgia 
and rheumatism, but an abuse of the organs of reproduc- 
tion has been practiced in her solitude. She always knows 
it and cannot deny it without showing her falsehood in a 
cheek. She will write to a physician, without giving her 
name correctly, for a cure. A young and single man may 
have both diseases, but it is a consequence of a masturba- 
tion, and he is not needing the information. All people 
will have a species of rheumatism at one period of their 
lives, as a perfectly correct life in the way of moral habits 
is not possible. 

Inflammatory rheumatism is only a mere aggravation 
of the common disorder and it is a commencement of 
decomposition of the body. A person with inflammatory 
rheumatism will always be found to be a most sensual 
person, and given to a life of utter recklessness in the way 
of intercourse with a woman. All such persons are apt to 
be cursing the plan of creation, and giving a family a bad 
atmosphere of an irritable and impatient nature. The 
whole of the cure of the disease is found in a cessation of 
debauchery and a plenty of food and air. A doctor can- 



192 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

not affect the punishment the person is getting for a bad 
habit and want of balance of mind. 



GOUT. 



When a person is afflicted with gout a punishment for 
what is an abuse of all the organs of the body is being 
inflicted. All the organs are abused if gout is created. 

It is a consequence of incomplete digestion, circula- 
tion and operation of every function of the organization. 
A general corruption of the body is the cause of a pain at 
every corner of a joint or work of a means of motion. 
Tlie joints are the places where pains are felt because a 
force is wanted to give activity to the organs of motion, 
such as the hands, legs, feet, and arms. 

A blood overloaded with corpuscles is unable to cre- 
ate a current of electricity that affords a sufficient power 
of motion. The want of the power is the cause of the 
pain. Every pain that was ever felt was a spasm of a 
part of the body produced by an absence of electricity in 
such part. Nothing can produce pain but a separation of 
a part of the body from the part that is possessing this 
influence. 

The paroxysm called pain is an intelligent operation 
of a slight amount of the influence in a part of the body, 
as it calls for a supply from another part. Every call is 
disregarded until a person is able to become sufficiently 
punished for the abuse of the system. If the calamity is 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 93 

an accident or produced through ignorance of its charac- 
ter, a lesson is the effect of the pain. In all such cases a 
removal of the pain is performed in a more ready manner, 
and it is the consequence of the absence of guilt in the 
creation of it, and the sympathy of others who are justly 
exercised over the misfortune of the person. 

A gouty person can find relief in out- door exercise 
and a bath of alcohol, and in no other way. All that has 
permitted a glutton to become a gouty person was a want ' 
of good air and exercise. A glutton must breathe good 
air and perform a labor of some character, or be a cor- 
rupted and aching creature. 

The disease is only a blood overloaded with what are 
called corpuscles. How well it must be understood by the 
medical profession, when it is universally claimed to be 
a scrofula, or poison in the blood, given development in a 
person ! This old superstition that a latent poison is in 
the system of all persons is as wise as the claim of a church 
that a devil is latent in all nature and only wants a chance 
to show himself. The claim of the medical profession 
that a mysterious poison is carousing in all persons' bodies, 
awaiting a chance to disclose its malignity, is a mere out- 
growth of the old pagan superstition of a devil in creation. 
A searching for the cause of the claim is all that is neces- 
sary to disclose this fact. 

No person is possessed of such an affair. It could 
not be transmitted; no disease can be transmitted that is 
not in existence when a child is begotten, or during its 
development. A copy of a disease is all that can be 
imposed upon an offspring. The disease must be quite 
active or it can not do even this. 



194 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

The gout is well calculated to present a copy of a glut- 
ton to a whole community, for when it has possessed one, 
the copy is given a chance to hobble over a town in such 
a clever way of showing his style of existing, that every 
person can discover what he is. If the tails of the chick- 
ens, and the legs and bones of the animals whose bodies 
were devoured were sticking out of the person it would not 
be more apparent what his habits were. 

It is only necessary to add, that a blood when over- 
loaded with corpuscles cannot decompose them fast 
enough to supply the body with the needed force of con- 
struction and repair. The clogged blood is only prevented 
creating a current of electricity sufficient to carry on the 
functions of the body. 



SCIATICA. 

Sciatica is but a neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. The 
cause is a general weakness of the body, and it is the con- 
sequence, in almost every instance, of excessive indulgence 
or excitement of the sexual capacities. As many as a 
half million of young men and women are to-day suffering 
from the disease, because they are ignorant of its cause. 
The constant excitement of the sexual organs in a court- 
ship is the cause. Only a more constant excitement of 
such capacities, by being in each others' company in a close 
companionship, is the producing work of the complaint. 
All are liable to sciatica who fail to get married before the 
body is made weak in courtship. A great many get it 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 1 95 

after the marriage ceremony. All the degraded portions 
of the community are getting it in some measure. The 
cure is a good habit, and good work, and good society. A 
dose of medicine is not wanted. It is an injury. A wash 
of alcohol is a good assistant, but is of no use until a bet- 
ter practice of life is adopted. 



WOUNDS. 



Any wound that severs an artery or breaks a bone, to 
any extent, should be attended to by a competent physi- 
cian or surgeon. A bleeding of a wound is usually stop- 
ped by a compress of cloth. wet with cold water, or by a 
lint placed over it, or by elevating the wounded part above 
the head when the injury is on a limb. 

If an artery is severed in a limb, and the flow of 
blood cannot be stopped by a compress or elevation of the 
part, a girdling of the limb above the wound with a cord 
or cloth must be made until a surgeon can close the rup- 
tured artery and give it a chance to heal, 



ANTISEPTIC DRESSINGS. 

An antiseptic dressing of a sore is a covering of the 
corrosion with any wash or substance that is capable of 



196 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

performing a further decomposition of pus. The further 
decomposition of the pus is a means of destroying its 
power to corrode the healthy parts of the flesh. The cells 
of the pus are given a complete destruction, and this is 
all that is necessary in order to give a destruction of 
a power to corrode. Any acid or alkali is an antiseptic 
worker. Carbolic acid is the best, for it is so active, it can 
perform much work by a small portion of its substance, 
and the water in it is of no great bulk. The other ingre- 
dient is a mere mass of vegetable cells themselves decom- 
posing. Wash the wound first with a weak solution of 
the acid, then lay a cloth saturated with the acid upon the 
sore, and cover it with a piece of oiled silk. The opera- 
tion should be performed once a day, and a new applica- 
tion of the bandage made at each operation. A sore of 
any kind is at once healed in this way, if it is not a blood 
poison that is giving it. 



ANEURISM. 

Aneurism is a slight stretching of a blood vessel, and 
by a strain of the artery by lifting, or other violent con- 
traction of a muscle; a pulsation of the blood is after- 
wards felt at the stretched point on account of a change 
given the flow of blood at this point. The change in 
the flow gives occasion for a gland to be constructed. 
This is performed by a surging of the blood against the 
wall of the strained part on its more distant side,* a press- 



CAUSE AND CURE OP DISEASE. tgj 

ing out of corpuscles at this part takes place — a perfect 
demonstration of the fact that all the glands are con- 
structed by a pressing out of corpuscles from the blood at 
a turn in an artery or other vessel of the blood, or at the 
end of a blood vessel. There is no cure for the disorder 
except a good strong body and good digestion. These 
will in time give a change to the condition of the vessel. 



MORTIFICATION AND GANGRENE. 

A mortification is an inflammation or decomposition 
of the flesh, and gangrene is but a corrosion of good 
flesh. One produces a charred amount of cells and tis- 
sues, the other a pus. Mortification is prevented by a 
cure of inflammation. Gangrene is given a stop by a 
cleansing of the sore and obtaining good food and air. 
Any case of gangrene is cured by a washing of the sore 
with diluted alcohol, and giving the afflicted person a 
plenty of good food and air. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE MEM- 
BRANE OF THE MOUTH. 

Only a poisoning of the surface of the membrane by 
gas from the stomach or by a poison taken into the 



198 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

mouth is the cause of the disease. A stomach is made 
gasless by common soda and water. A cessation of poi- 
soning is a cure for all sore mouths produced by poison. A 
wound of this character in the mouth is healed very 
quickly. 



WOUNDS BY VENOMOUS SERPENTS. 

(See articles on Wounds by Poisonous Insects and on Hydrophobia.) 



STINGS OF INSECTS. 

A sting by an insect and a poisoning by a fang of a ser- 
pent are the same kinds of poisoning, and a difference of 
time in the action of the poisons is caused by a difference in 
the way the blood is affected by the poison. A mere fluid 
is passed to the blood by a sting of an insect, and in a sting 
by a serpent's fang a species of humor is given the blood. 

When an insect is angry a spinal affair, or what answers 
for one, is casting a portion of its fluid into an organ that is 
terminating at the extremity of the stomach or body of the 
venomous creature. The fluid is but a very sharp acid and 
it is capable of giving a person a sharp burning where the 
sting enters the flesh. A burning of a tissue by the acid 
is all that occurs. Any powerful acid, if it be inserted 
into the flesh in the same way, will cause the same kind 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 199 

of pain. All that gives the fluid an acid character is a 
current of electricity that is whirling in it. All acids are 
of this character. An excited brain or cells of the insect 
is the source of the acid. A cure of the sting is a wash 
of alcohol or ammonia. A wash is of little necessity after 
a couple of minutes from the time of the stinging. 

Serpents' stings are only an acid of thicker character 
forced into the flesh. When a snake is excited, as when 
angry, the whole spinal column is given the greatest pos- 
sible activity and a decomposition of its substance is rap- 
idly performed. The decomposed portion passes to the 
fangs and the chambers at their base. 

This substance is the poison of the creature and it 
is almost the same as the vitreous humor of a human eye. 
It is but a trifle more active when it is in the flesh. The 
corrosion from it is quite slow and it is given accumula- 
tion of its power in a poison it generates in the decompo- 
sition of the blood. A whole body is in a few hours, and 
sometimes sooner, given a poison of this character which 
inflames and commences a decomposition of any organ in 
it. A species of pyemia is the poisoning. The snake is 
perfectly conscious of the effect of his bite and it is able to 
give a person a considerable warning of its intention. 
The copperhead will not bite until after it has been seen, 
and a rattlesnake will shake his tail with continued des- 
peration long enough for a person to go away. A viper is 
unwilling to bite a person until it is given a great provoca- 
tion. All snakes are unwilling to bite any one unless a 
danger is upon themselves, and one never does. The 
antidote for a snake's bite is the same as that for a sting, 
and a continued washing of the wound with alcohol and 



200 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

giving the substance a chance to evaporate at every few 
minutes, is a prevention of the corrosion of the blood by 
the poison. A mud is about as good, when placed on the 
wound; so is a mashed plant that gives a water a great 
infusion of its substances. 

Alcohol, or what is in the form of alcohol and fusel 
oil, whiskey, will give the blood a force competent to dis- 
charge a snake poisoning if it is drank in great quantities 
at once. A person should exercise as violently as possi- 
ble for a couple of hours. If a person is bitten by a ven- 
omous snake in hot weather, a drink of whiskey every ten 
minutes and a sweating from the heat and violent exer- 
cise will deprive the poison of any perceptible effect upon 
the whole system. Only a slight inflammation around 
the bite will be observed. 



FROST BITES. 

A freezing of the flesh is a frost bite. The cells and 
tissues are barely tacked together in the flesh, and the 
contraction of the whole mass presses the blood back to 
tbe greater organs. The absence of blood gives the white 
aspect to the frozen part. A fat is but a mass of cells 
tacked together and without blood. It looks as much 
like frozen flesh as a skin on the flesh permits. A return 
of the blood gives a decomposition to the tacked cells, and 
in this operation a portion of them are destroyed. The 
destroyed portion is finally cast upon the surface. A 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 201 

swelling and pain is produced by the burning of the cells 
while a blood is disengaging them. The sting felt in the 
operation of freezing is the consequence of the pressing of 
the blood out of the freezing part. It is only a pinching 
by contraction. 

The cure of a frost bite is the assisting of the blood to 
get the destroyed cells to the surface. This is performed 
by a wash of the affected parts as often as twice a day 
with alcohol. Nothing else is wanted. 



SUN-STROKE. 

Sun-stroke is a current of electricity of the sun com- 
ing into a person's body and destroying the operations of 
the current in the body. A perspiring person is the coaxer 
of the sun's current. A vapor arising above the person's 
head from the body is a species of cloud and it gives a 
current of the sun a chance to come into the cloud and 
even below it, and a bolt of the influence actually pene- 
trates the brain and body. 

The operation is in every particular the same as the 
striking of a person by what is called lightning, and its 
effects are in every particular the same. There is no 
cause for a difference. A cloud in the atmosphere halts 
an outflowing current of electricity of the earth and per- 
mits a current of the sun to come to the cloud and occa- 
sionally on to the earth. The bolt is only a current of the 



202 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

sun coming to teach people that electricity is the God of 
the universe and that its power is omnipotent. A cloud 
over a perspiring person affords a visit of the current of 
the sun in the same way, and it is given for the purpose 
of informing people that a better condition of the body is 
necessary in a hot day. 

A cure of sunstroke is a washing of the body with alco- 
hol in the moment of the stroke. Nothing else is needed, 
and if the stroke is a fatal one this is not needed. 



BURNS AND SCALDS. 

A burn is but a considerable smashing of the cells 
and tissues of the flesh. If it is performed by a fire it is 
only a demolishing of the tissues and cells. If it is per- 
formed by hot water or vapor, a decomposition of the cells 
and tissues is accomplished. A cure of the wound is a 
chance for a new tissue to be constructed. The chance is 
obtained by merely excluding the air from the surface of 
the burned flesh. When this is done a healing commences 
in a moment. The smart is given by a want of a current 
of electricity in the partly destroyed cells. A fire or hot 
water has drawn out what was there, and a calling for 
more is the smart. A burn can always be felt as a vio- 
lent extraction of a force from the flesh. It is always per- 
ceived as a contraction of the parts burned. A fire near 
the surface of a burn will give back a current if it is not 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 203 

too active. The curious fact can be proven by holding a 
scorched flesh quite near a fire. In a few moments the 
flesh can be taken away without a return of the smart. 
An oil is a good covering of a burn. A lint with a balsam 
under it is better. The balsam is a thick oil. 



CROUP. 



A very simple affair is croup. Only a filling of a 
bronchial tube with mucus. A cough is generally accom- 
panying the croup. A child will be croupy only because, 
its pipes are small. A grown person is seldom croupy 
A dose of common soda and water is a cure in both cases. 
A gas from a bad stomach is the cause of all accumula- 
tions of mucus in a bronchial pipe. It simply fills the 
water of the surfaces of a throat and other organs with 
the substance. A drawing into a windpipe a portion of 
the gas a stomach is sending to a throat is the means of 
giving a surface of a pipe a mucus. There is no other 
cause. A doctor will admit it. The mucus is destroyed 
by an acid or an alkali very rapidly when it can be placed 
upon the mucous substance. A chance to do this is only 
in the throat. A destruction of the gases of the stomach 
is the only possible cure of croup in the pipes. 

A delivery of a strangling child from the distress is 
accomplished by a wet bandage around the neck. A cold 
bandage is the best. A start of the forces of the throat 



204 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

toward the surface will expand a pipe that is filled with 
mucus. Let every parent remember this. When a 
stomach is in order a croup will be gone in two hours. A 
cutting of the mucus to pieces by a sweep of air into the 
lungs will be performed as rapidly as a wind decomposes 
snow when the temperature of the atmosphere is above 
that of the snow. 



TEETHING. 

Teething is the construction of the teeth through the 
gums, and it is given a good calculation by an almighty 
capacity in the nerve of the tooth. The current of elec- 
tricity in the nerve is the constructor. The decomposed 
cells of the nerve are the building material. The use of a 
tooth is to crack a grain and split a vegetable. A greater 
exhibition of the fact that a current of electricity is a 
capacitated influence can not be found than in the con- 
struction of the teeth. A description of the operation is 
in the chapter on reproduction. A child is given some 
pain and annoyance in its teething. The suffering is the 
first lesson in an education of a world's bestowal. When 
a crop is all out a new one is commenced. It comes 
through the gums after the sockets of the jaw are of 
good size. This crop is wedged in by a growth of the bone 
of the jaw. When a tooth of this crop is gone it is not 
to be replaced. Only a want of it is to be given the one 
who could not take care of it. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 205 

A constant saturation of the gums by a diluted alco- 
hol will relieve the pain and assist the growth of the com- 
ing teeth. Never give a child the nostrums of a dishonest 
quack, who is dealing in soothing powders. An opium is 
the ingredient that does the soothing. Death is caused by 
it in many cases. The dealer in the fraud should be pun- 
ished for giving a poison in disguise. 



INFANTILE PARALYSIS. 

When a child is so drugged by a physician that its 
whole nervous system is destroyed a paralysis is of 
course. This is all we can offer of its cause. The cure is 
to give no more medicine during the life of the child, and 
to bathe the whole body with a weak alcoholic wash as 
often as twice a week. Keep the child well fed with 
nourishing and easily digested food. In a few years a 
use of the limbs will be obtained. 



WHOOPING COUGH. 

This most curious complaint is one that defies the 
skill of the physician, and cannot be controlled by any 
means now known. It is a well-considered question, in 



206 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

case of this disorder, whether any disease exists at all. It 
is a complaint of considerable importance. The disease 
is only a consequence of the existence in the atmosphere 
of a great amount of such affairs as are producing the 
beautiful frost work of plants upon a window pane or flag- 
ging stone ; only the emanations of plants in the air. 

The complaint which they produce is only a gather- 
ing of the water of the mucous surfaces to the surfaces of 
these objects, the same character of operation that gives a 
sky an expanse of clouds. All that creates a cloud is*the 
attraction of vapor to a soul of a plant or animal in the 
sky. The same affair of smaller extent is wiping the 
throat of the coughing child of its water, and when it is 
wiped dry a whole string of clouds of water and plant ema- 
nations will be coughed out. If it is not swallowed, it is 
given to the atmosphere again by the cough. If it is 
swallowed a vomiting is often produced. The cough is a 
consequence of a dry throat. 

The same character of cough is caused by any dryness 
of the swallow or bronchial pipes. The disease occurs after 
a winter has released the plant emanations from the snow, 
whose crystals are produced by the existence of these crea- 
tions, or after a cold atmosphere has destroyed a zone of 
tiny plants. The most distressing complaint called diph- 
theria is by these objects. 

Only a child's throat is able to be wiped dry of water 
by a plant soul. An adult's throat is too large to be thus 
tormented. In each case of the disease a cure is effected 
by a swallow of water. No other remedy is of use, and 
no other is needed. A swallow of water as often as a tick- 
ling in the throat is felt will prevent a cough. A swallow 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 207 

will not be wanted after a current of electricity the earth 
discbarges has wafted the troublesome affairs that wipe 
the throat to a realm of the sky. 

A fever is sometimes produced by the agitation of the 
body when the disease has commenced. The subsidence 
of fever is as certain as the cessation of coughing. Only 
a mere patience with the disease until a spring or fall is 
passed is necessary to deprive the child of a great deal of 
coughing and its parents of anxiety. 



INGROWING TOE NAILS. 

The ingrowing toe nail is a consequence of a tight 
shoe or improper cutting of the nail. Give the nail a 
slot in its center. 



MUMPS. 



A greater volume of blood than at any previous 
period of a child's existence gives a gland of the 
throat a great increase in its size, and when the gland is 
given a contraction of the new mass of corpuscles pressed 
into it, a good gland for an adult is constructed. This 
operation of constructing a greater gland in a child's 
neck is the affair called mumps. Any operation for 
increasing the size of a gland is a most astonishing 



208 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

affair in the mind of a professor of medical science. The 
glands are all constructed by a squeezing of corpuscles 
from a blood vessel. In the chapter on Reproduction a care- 
ful description of the process and of the different glands is 
given. A good development of the gland of a child's neck 
is impossible without a species of breaking up of the 
old glands. This permits a greater construction of the 
glands, and this is all the breaking up of the glands is for. 
A great scolding will be given us for destroying a claim 
that mumps are produced by a "specific poison," but we 
can bear the scolding. A doctor is a good friend of our 
work in most cases and it is for his profession that we are 
penning this work. 

In case the cheeks or neck are so contracted by a 
cold that the glands of the throat cannot be given a con- 
siderable breaking up and increase of size, an ovary or 
testicle is given the work. A mere change of opportunity 
for a crowded blood vessel to give a gland an increase 
in size is performed when an ovary or testicle is broken 
up. In this operation can be seen the cause of the change 
in the condition of the sexual organs called sexual devel- 
opment. It is only a greater volume of blood giving a 
greater volume of corpuscles to the ovaries and testicles. 
We give a complete description of the change in the chap- 
ter on Reproduction. 

A cure for mumps is in the disease itself. A child has 
only to "grin and bear it." "While a gland of the throat 
is being changed, a cold must be avoided and so must a 
dose of medicine. 

The symptoms of the disease are first, a chill and 
fever, then a pain under the ear, which is followed by a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 209 

swelling of all the glands of the neck and jaws. The 
inflammation and pain sometimes extends to to the arm 
pits. Swelling stiffens the jaws and it hurts to move them. 
Sometimes a swelling and soreness under the arms occurs. 



CHOLERA INFANTUM. 

Cholera infantum is exactly the same as cholera mor- 
bus, and the disease is given this term only when it is 
possessed by infants. (See Cholera Morbus.) 



GOITRE. 



A goitre is an increase of the gland on the side of the 
neck, and it is increased, as all glands are, by a pressing of 
corpuscles from a blood vessel. "When a person is a great 
devourer of food and can do more with a stomach than 
with a brain, a goitre is possible on his or her neck. A 
broad brain is always over a goitre. The base of it is only 
a brute's character of bottom brain, and the person is but a 
brute in all respects, except in a bit of teaching a world of 
humanity gave the child. A great crowding of the stom- 
ach with food and the blood with corpuscles is the cause 
of a gland being increased about the neck. All the glands 
of the goitred person are great as well as this one. A 
surging blood filled with corpuscles is forced from the 



2IO CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 

heart over the brain, and a pressing of more corpuscles 
into the gland over the artery is performed. A broad 
brain assists in the operation on account of a turn of the 
artery at the corners of the brain on each side of the head. 
A goitre is constructed on the stem of the body below the 
blossom of the person, as a fruit is constructed around a 
twig at the base of a blossom. The cells of the channels 
of circulation of the plant afford the fruit, and those of the 
channels of circulation of the person afford the goitre. 
Both examples of growth are provided with a means of 
destruction. 

The fruit will decay, and if it is a good fruit it will 
commence to decay at its center. If it is a bad fruit it 
will commence at the surface. An orange is an example 
of the first class; the pear of the second. A goitre com- 
mences to decay at the center, and a sac of pus is soon 
constructed of the wbole affair. 

The cure is a washing of the goitre three times a day 
with alcohol, and giving the possessor a diet of fish for a 
whole year. The goitre should be constantly contracted 
by an appliance for this purpose. A physician can direct 
the construction of the appliance. Clip the hair and wash 
the scalp every day with water and soap. 



DISEASES OF THE EYE. 

The eye consists of a round shell of only decomposed 
corpuscles of the optic nerve, attached to the optic nerve 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 211 

as a tooth is attached to a nerve in it, (the outer surface 
of the eyeball being attached to the muscles of the face 
about the eyes, by a small fiber of the muscles being con- 
nected with the surface of the balls on the right and left 
sides), and a thin condition of the decomposed corpuscles 
of the nerve, called aqueous humor, a lens constructed of 
consolidated humor, and a vitreous humor. The nerve is 
protruding just through the rear wall of the ball, and it is 
given a division on the inner side of the ball into a great 
many fibers, each fiber possessing a capacity of a nerve. 

The vitreous humor is only a portion of the decom- 
posed corpuscles of the nerve given a lodgment at the 
back part of the eyeball, and for about two-thirds of the 
space from the back side forward. The lens is a double 
convex object constructed of an amount of consolidated 
vitreous humor given a lodgment in front of the vitreous 
humor, and extending nearly across the eyeball, at the 
point where it is located. The so-called iris is the parti- 
tion between the aqueous humor and the lens, which 
extends from the walls of the eyeball, on all sides, to 
a point about three-sixteenths of an inch from the 
center of the ball, and which constitutes the colored 
part of the eye. The space in the center of the approach- 
ing parts of the iris is the pupil, — a mere hole formed by 
the iris failing to close all the space in front of the lens. 
The aqueous humor is in the front of the eye and behind 
the cornea. It is another portion of the decomposed cells 
of the nerve, and it is thinner than the vitreous humor in 
consequence of being forced around the lens and through 
the iris, and a partition on the back side of the lens con- 
nected with the walls of the eye, called a membrane. This 



212 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

aqueous humor is the substance that is constantly passing 
to the nose and consolidating. 

The whole of these organs constitute the eyeball, and 
all the parts of the shell of the ball are but different strata of 
the decomposed corpuscles, given a consolidation into a 
covering for the internal affairs. Every part of the eye- 
ball is constructed from the decomposed corpuscles dis- 
charged by the optic nerve, except the cornea. The cornea 
is but a cm-rent of electricity of the nerve given consolida- 
tion before a child is born. It is exactly the same kind of 
construction as a cell of any organization in the universe. 
Its purpose is to afford a cover for the aqueous humor, 
and at the same time to permit a light to penetrate the 
eye. It is wholly transparent, and a very curious object. 
The purpose of the aqueous humor is only to afford a good 
conductor of a current of electricity of the optic nerve to the 
surface of the eyeball, where it can come in contact with 
one in the atmosphere. The discharge of the aqueous 
humor is caused by this current pressing it out of the 
cornea and wall of the eye. The purpose of the lens is to 
afford a diffusion of the light, so that it can strike all the 
surface of the eyeball back of the lens. The diffused light 
gives a picture of all objects in front of the eye upon the 
surface of the ball back of the lens, and this picture is 
given the brain by the optic nerve. A current of electric- 
ity of the brain actually sees it, and this is all it does do. 
The vitreous humor is but for the purpose of giving the 
walls of the back part of the eye a condition exactly like 
the sensitive plate in a camera obscura, on which a photo- 
graph is captured. The picture in the eye is but a photo- 
graph. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 213 

A description of the disorders of the eye is now in order. 
Short-sightedness is one disorder ; a long-sightedness is 
another ; failing of the sight from age is another; glau- 
coma, or curtailment of the scope, or field of vision, is 
another. The others are called astigmatism, strabismus, 
or cross-eye, inflammation of the cornea, opacity of the 
cornea, inflammation of the iris, cataract, inflammation of 
the shell of the eyeball. 

These disorders shall be considered in the order given- 



SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS. 

When the cornea of the eye is considerably extended 
forward, by the pressure of the aqueous humor in it, a 
curtailment of the extent of the sight is produced. The 
more pointed shape of the cornea is the cause of it, and it 
is given a slight degree of opacity by the surface of the 
organ possessing an oblique position with respect to the 
optic nerve's center; a wall of the cornea being given a diag- 
onal presentation to objects in front of the eye. A 
change of the character of the sight is obtained, and a 
further vision, also, by a flattening of the protruding cor- 
nea. The great force of the optic nerve which is dis- 
charged into the eye, is the cause of the greater pressing 
of the cornea, and the greater quantity of the fluid in it. 
There is no remedy for this character of eyeball, and its 
existence is unmistakable evidence of a good eye in all 
other respects. A competent oculist can adjust glasses to 



214 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the eye that will afford a perfect vision of objects at a sat- 
isfactory distance. 



OVERSIGHT. 

The complaint called long-sightedness is a flattened 
condition of the cornea, and also of the lens. The lens is 
sure to correspond in form to the cornea on its outer sur- 
face. The disorder is produced by the want of force of 
the optic nerve, and the person is sure to possess weak 
eyes, and one which will give the object a quick and poor 
perception. A chance for a light to pass directly through 
the cornea and lens is the cause of the stunning effect of 
objects upon the eye. 

The only competent remedy for such a defect is the 
, strengthening of the optic nerve by a good condition of the 
brain. A good oculist can give directions as to the glasses 
to be worn. 



FAILING SIGHT. 

A person is obtaining a stronger optic nerve as age 
advances, and in some cases is obtaining a loss of its 
strength. If the strength of the optic nerve is increasing, 
a short-sightedness only is being given the eye, and a 
greater distance is wanted for all objects of a small char- 
acter that are to be seen. All that is wanted, in such a 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 215 

case, is a better pair of glasses than a cornea furnishes, 
the same kind of glasses as are necessary in a case of 
short-sightedness. If the failing of the eye is discovered 
by a blurred condition of objects seen, it is the conse- 
quence of a thickening of the humors of the eye, and this 
is the consequence of a weakened condition of the optic 
nerve. All the nerves of the body are equally weak ; only 
a want of strength of the brain is the producer of the diffi- 
culty. A good rest of the brain, and a good digestion are 
sure to give an improvement to the sight in such disorders. 
A brain is capable of maintaining good eyes as long as 
a person is living, if it is given a good condition itself. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE CORNEA. 

An inflammation of the cornea is a consequence of 
the want of a force of the optic nerve, and it is an attempt 
at decomposition merely. The brain is always weak 
with the possessor of the bad cornea, and it should be 
given strength. A whole group of half-starved children 
in a squalid part of a city can be seen possessing sore 
corneas, and the bad air and scanty food of the children 
are the cause of it. A bright object gives pain to the eyes 
of such persons, and it must be avoided. All that a hand 
or finger of the person is raised to the eyes for is to give 
the cornea a current of the fingers. All rubbing of a 
painful point is for this purpose, and a world of scientists 
are unable to discover it. A good food and air and culti- 



2l6 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

vation of the strength of the person are the remedies in all 
such disorders. 



OPACITY OF THE CORNEA. 

Opacity of the cornea is but a thickening of it. It is 
getting thicker by a further consolidating of a current of 
electricity of the optic nerve, and it is always observed in 
a person whose eyes are closed too much in asking for a 
blessing and salvation from lost condition of the soul. 
All such producers of a thickening cornea are getting what 
they deserve— a loss of sight of the blessings already had. 
A closing of the eyelids gives a cooping to the current of 
the nerve, and it will consolidate, of course, in all such 
cases. A sleep is only to cause as much consolidation of 
the current as is destroyed in wakeful hours. 



STRABISMUS. 

Strabismus is the contracted character of a fiber con- 
necting the ball of the eye with a muscle of the adjacent 
part of the face. The possession of this contraction of the 
ligaments of the eye is a certain disclosure of the fact that 
the person's origin was a bird, and when developing was 
given a neglect of stretching the ligaments on one side of 
the eyes, or on one side of one of them. The disorder is 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 217 

permitted only to give people a clue to the origin of a class 
of people/ A person whose eyes, or one of them, are staring 
sidewise, is copying a stare of a fowl of the dooryard, and 
the position of the head is the same. The person is watch- 
ing for a crumb, or to avoid a brick-bat from another 
person. In most cases a brick-bat is needed by the watcher. 
And a brick-bat is always in his or her hands. 

A turning of the eyes to the nose is another evidence 
of a want of long ligaments of the eye on one side. This 
is only a different whirl of the eye, and a watch for a 
brick-bat is carried on by crossing the operations of sight 
between the eyes. Such a watcher is apt to need much 
watching himself, and he is a good musician and dancer 
as a rule. A cutting of the short ligament is a partial re- 
moval of the trouble. 



TRICHIASIS. 

Trichiasis is a curving of the eyelashes in the direc- 
tion of the cornea or eye. The hairs will soon destroy the 
cornea and blind the person. The cause is a want of force 
of the optic nerve. The eyelashes are invariably the indi- 
cation of the direction and force of a current of electricity 
discharged by the optic nerve, and a bending of .them 
downward when a person is sleepy is the accomplishment 
of the current when it is exhausted. A weary brain is call- 
ing for the current of the nerve and the lashes bend down- 
ward when it is withdrawn. If the person is a worker, 



2l8 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

when sleep is wanted the lashes are gradually given a fall- 
ing upon the cornea. The cure is barely a rested brain 
and plenty of sleep. 



CATARACT. 

A cataract is an opacity of the lens. It is produced 
by a contraction of the lens in some instances, and in 
others by a covering of the object with a consolidation of 
the vitreous humor of the eye. A weak optic nerve is the 
cause, and the weak nerve is the consequence of a straining 
of the organ by a particular work when the cataract appears 
upon aged peo pie — a want of force in both cases. Give 
the brain plenty of rest, and a doctor a chance to apply a 
galvanic battery to the eyeball and back of the head. A 
current of electricity will destroy the cataract. A great 
care as to the force of the current should be adopted, and 
only a competent physician should be permitted to perform 
the operation. 



ASTIGMATISM. 

Astigmatism, so-called, is but a current of the optic 
nerve passing out at the sides of the eyeball, and admitting 
a glimpse of objects to be seen by these side shows. It is 
a consequence of a very powerful optic nerve, and the per- 
son is always a product of a conversion into human form 



CAUSE AND CUR^ OF DISEASE. 219 

of a creature that could observe objects by the sides of its 
eyes. A splendid exhibition of the continued faculties of 
an animal. A horse is usually the origin of the person. 

The disorder is one that can be given no cure, and it 
is all gone in a score of years. An increase of the thick- 
ness of the shell of the eye in the course of years is the 
operation that nature provides for closing a sidewise peep- 
ing at things by persons. A human creature is commanded 
to look things in their face and by showing his own. 



PTERYGIUM. 

Pterygium is a growth of muscle from the corner of 
the eye on the nose to the center of the cornea, and some- 
times across it. The cause is a weak optic nerve, which 
prevents its force from crowding the muscle into its proper 
corner. The same work of growth often covers the whole 
eyeball on the front with a thin muscle or membrane, and 
which blinds the possessor. A very weak and imbecile 
person is apt to be thus afflicted. So are idiots, and often 
an idiot is born with this destroyer of sight on the eyes. 
A cleaving of the covering with instruments is approvable, 
but a weak eye is always the consequence. A washing of the 
closed lids with alcohol will assist in giving strength to 
the eyes, and in removing inflammation. The person must 
cultivate his or her brain, and improve the capacity of the 
optic nerve. 



220 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

INFLAMMATION OF THE IRIS. 

Inflammation of the iris is produced precisely as the 
inflammation of the cornea is. The cure is the same. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE SHELL OF 
THE EYE. 

The inner surface of the eyeball is often inflamed, 
and it is the consequence of a weak optic nerve merely. 
A strong brain and nerve will cure it. Wash the eyeball 
on its outer surface, but over the lids, with alcohol. A 
cure is then certain. 



ECTROPION. 

Ectropion is a curving of the eyelids outward on their 
margins. It is caused by a greater current of the optic 
nerve than is proper. The person is a mere sleeper unless 
actually compelled to work, and can be all the while sleep- 
ing. A waste of force of the brain is given. His lids are 
but partly closed in sleep. The cause of the sleepy con- 
dition was the origin of the person. It was a bird whose 
eyelids were given a flare and color of flesh always, 
and who could stand on one leg or on two and sleep for 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 221 

half an hour, and then change legs in the standing and 
sleep another half hour. A common turkey and a good 
sleeper. 

The remedy for the disorder is a habit of giving the 
eyes a perusal of a book of consequence a couple of hours 
each day. 



ENTROPION. 

Entropion is only a greater curving of the eyelashes 
and the curving of the lids also. Both are produced by a 
want of sleep and rest of the brain. 



STY. 

A sty on a lid is but a small hair coming through the 
skin. One occasionally comes through on the inner side 
and gives the eyeball a scratching. Both are given a cure 
by a cutting of the lid with a sharp -pointed knife, and a 
surgeon only should perform the operation. When the 
hair is growing inwardly it should be pulled out from the 
outside and given a world of wiseacres for an example of 
what a nerve will do in the way of producing hair on the 
inside of a lid when the skin is more solid on the outside 
of the lid. 



222 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

AMAUROSIS. 

Amaurosis is a scapegoat term for a disease of the 
eye. A physician can comprehend a weak and imperfectly 
operating eye, caused by a very debilitated optic nerve; a 
weak nerve is the cause of the disorder. Give the nerve 
strength. Only a failing of power of sight is experienced. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE EYELIDS. 

An inflammation of the lining of the lids is but a con- 
sequence of a decomposition of the whole surface of the 
eyeball shell. A poisoning of the flesh is the work; give 
the eyelids a wash of alcohol, and the brain a competent 

rest. 



GLAUCOMA. 

Glaucoma is a contraction of the power of sight, 
and all the organs of the eye that afford it. A shrinking 
optic nerve is the cause. A withering of the optic nerve 
is giving contraction to the whole of the eye. A depression 
of the end of the nerve is the consequence of a withdrawal 
of some of the nerve's current. Only a good oculist can 
adjust glasses to such an eye. The nerve is to be strength- 
ened or the eye is lost. A good brain is the strengthener. 



CAUSE AND CURB OF DISEASE. 223 

A good brain can give the nerve its normal condition, and 
no cutting of the eye should be permitted. 



PTOSIS. 



Ptosis is a weakness of the eyelid or its nerves. The 
person cannot uncover the pupil by lifting the lid. The 
cure is a washing of the lid with alcohol until it has 
acquired sufficient strength. 



PUSTULES OF THE LIDS. 

A pustule of the eyelid is a small cancer but insuffi- 
cient to produce a continued corrosion of the flesh. A 
washing of the eyelids with alcohol is a certain cure. 
(See Cancer.) 



WEEPING OR WATERY EYES. 

The flow of water over the under eyelid is caused by 
a closing of the channel that gives escape to the water 
from the eyelid to the nose. The channel is closed by a 
contraction of the muscles of the lid and nose — a result of 



224 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the weakness of the person. It is cured by getting a suf- 
ficient amount of strength. 



TUMORS OF EYELIDS. 

A tumor of the eyelid is constructed as a wart is con- 
structed. (See Warts.) 

The cure is a caustic of a mild character but capable 
of decomposing the tumor and creating a scab upon the 
wound. The scab answers for a curtailment of growth 
until a skin is formed over the wart. 



DISEASES OF THE EAR. 

A wanted description of the ear is the first work to be 
performed in order to capacitate a person for understand- 
ing the disorders of the organ. A plenty of descriptions 
of the form and connections and substances of the different 
parts of the ear are given by different authors upon the 
body, and each of them contains a description of the 
offices of some of the parts, but a complete description of 
the offices and operations of the ear is not to be found in 
any of such works. It is the purpose of this chapter to com- 
plete the disclosure of the offices of the different parts of 
the ear, if possible. If it is performed, a dissipation of a 
considerable amount of mystery concerning the wonderful 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 225 

organ will be made. It is a fact that a much more sim- 
ple affair is the whole organ than is now supposed, and a 
correct description is the most capable of disclosing a 
simple affair. 

An ear is constructed to detect a sound or motion of a 
current of electricity in the atmosphere ; and a perception 
by the current on a single fold of the brain of a certain 
character of motions on a vitreous humor of the ear is the 
performance of hearing. The difference between the ear 
and eye is the communication of a sound or motion to the 
brain instead of a photograph, and the order of prepara- 
tions that is necessary in an ear for this purpose. The 
affairs in the ear are similar to those in the eye to a great 
extent, and a philosophy of detecting the character of 
motion is identically the same as that which gives con- 
sciousness to the brain of the character of objects observed 
through the so-called sense of sight. It is, as in every 
sense, a consciousness obtained by a faculty of comprehen- 
sion of an intelligent power. The sense is in all cases a 
work of feeling or touch. 

An auditory nerve is given a termination at a short 
distance within the skull exactly opposite the orifice of the 
ear, and it is a membrane of a chamber that the fine divis. 
sions of the nerve pass into through the membrane, but 
there are three divisions of ihe chamber and as many 
divisions of the branches of the nerve that pass through 
the membrane. Each bundle of these branches passes 
into one of these chambers and the purpose of the divis- 
ion of both chamber and branches is to afford a concep- 
tion of a greater amount of motions and different motions 
of the fluid into which the branches pass, the motion of 



226 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

each of the fluids in the different chambers being different. 
The difference is caused by the shape of the chambers and 
their position in the ear. The chambers are in all 
respects like the chamber in the eye in which the vitreous 
humor is located, except in shape, and the substance in 
them is exactly the same, and it is produced by a discharge 
of the decomposed cells of the auditory nerve into the 
chamber. Around all these chambers another chamber is 
made and only by the creation of the three just described 
within it ; it is in this chamber there is a vitreous humor 
of the same cbaracter and it is given the chamber by a 
pressing of it into it through the membranes that con- 
stitute the walls of the other chambers. This chamber and 
its humor are analogous to the part of the eye that contains 
the aqueous humor and its contents. 

So far we can see a complete correspondence between 
the eye and the ear except in the form and number of the 
chambers. In the front of the general chamber and oppo- 
site the orifice of the outer ear, a species of pupil exists and 
it is only a hole in the bone that covers the fluid in the 
greater chamber, and which is closed on the surface 
of the humor by the membrane of the chamber pass- 
ing across it. On this membrane, where it is passing 
across this hole in the bone, a sound is communicated 
instead of a light as in case of a pupil in the eye when a 
lens is reached. A humor of the same character as that in 
the eye is given a vibration instead of a photograph at this 
pupil of the ear. A vibration is given it by a small bone 
that is sitting in the hole upon the membrane that covers 
its inner orifice, or what may be called end. This small 
bone is shaped like an inverted tea-cup, its broader end 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 227 

just fitting into the curious pupil. The bone is called the 
stirrup of the ear. On its tip or small end another bone 
is permitted to touch it but it is not connected with it. 
Its purpose is to give vibration to the stirrup when it is 
itself vibrated. This bone is permitted to touch another 
one by its side but it is not connected with it. The touch 
is for the purpose of obtaining a vibration of the one at its 
side, and which vibration it is extending to the stirrup. 
This bone is called the anvil, or middle bone of the three. 
The one against its side is called the hammer, and it is 
swinging on a pivot that is attached to the skull just over 
the orifice of the outer ear, but on the interior of the skull. 
The lower point of the so-called hammer touches the mem- 
brane that closes the inner orifice (or end) of the channel 
from the outer ear to the great chamber of the location of 
the bones called middle ear or tympanum. This mem- 
brane is called the drum, and it is vibrated by the motion 
of the atmosphere that enters the channel of the ear. The 
channel is the way through the skull from the outer ear to 
the great tympanum or chamber of the triplet of bones. 

The outer ear is a flange of cartilage so constructed as 
to gather the vibrations of the atmosphere called sound. 
The chamber in which the bones are located is filled with 
air; the air is obtained through a tube stretching from the 
chamber to the throat. The air is given a change and 
circulation by the process of swallowing food or fluids. 

The forms of the bones and different chambers can- 
not be described in any way so well as by a chart or plate 
of them. The forms of the chambers containing the humor 
are solely for the purpose of controlling the different kinds 
of motion in a way to give the auditory nerve a perception 



228 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

of a great number of different sounds, and to exclude a 
perception of all that are in the atmosphere of which the 
brain is not conscious. 

An outer ear for gathering a motion of the atmos- 
phere, a channel through which the motion is extended to 
a membrane that can vibrate as the atmosphere vibrates, 
a bone that is obtaining the same character of vibration 
from the membrane, another that is getting the motion 
from the first bone, another which is receiving it from the 
second, and a membrane that obtains the motion from the 
third bone, and a fluid that can be vibrated by this mem- 
brane in every way that the membrane vibrates, and three 
different chambers within this substance containing a fluid 
capable of obtaining a different character of vibration from 
the first fluid, and a nerve given division of its fibers into 
each of these three chambers, and a lining of all the 
chambers with a membranous substance, are the several 
instrumentalities for giving a brain a perception of sound. 

A description of the different diseases of the ear is 
now in order. 



ACCUMULATION OE CERUMEN. 

The accumulation of wax, so-called, in the orifice of 
the ear is owing to a want of force of the auditory nerve 
to throw it out. The brain is always weak in such cases, 
and it gives a weakness to the nerve. 

A cure is only a strengthening of the nerve by a 
strengthening of the brain. The wax is but the decora- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 229 

posed cells of the nerve discharged at its end and forced 
out of the chamber of the ear by a current of the nerve. 



ABSCESSES OF THE CHAMBER. 
WALLS OR MEMBRANES. 

A decomposition of the walls of the hollow in the ear 
is produced by a burning of the walls by a cooped current 
of electricity. The cooping is performed by a wax in the 
external channel. This decomposing part is the abscess 
and it is always a severe pain that it produces. 

A warm water in the ear is a cure. Every chamber 
in the ear is given an abscess in this way only, and all 
cured in the same way. 



POLYPI. 



By polypi is meant a wart in the ear. It is produced 
by a squeezing of the corpuscles of the blood into a cavity 
of the ear, and it is a very delicate operation to remove 
one. It is accomplished only by a most skillful surgeon, 
and it is often a work of but temporary relief. A misfor- 
tune is upon the person, and a great one. Give the blood 
a thinning by a fish diet after the operation is performed, 
and it is possible that another wart will not commence. 



230 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

If the blood is only a little charged with corpuscles a wart 
cannot grow. 



OBSTRUCTION OF THE SO-CALLED 
EUSTACHIAN TUBE. 

A pipe extending from the middle ear to the throat 
permits of a passage of air to this part of the ear. It is 
sometimes closed, and when it is a partial deafness is 
caused. The closing is a consequence of a contraction of 
the pipe, and a weakness of the whole body is a cause of 
the collapse of the tube. 

The cure is a general strengthening of the body. A 
good digestion and good air are the strengtheners. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE EXTERNAL 
CHANNEL OF THE EAR. 

An inflammation of the external channel to the drum 
is caused by a poisoning of its surfaces by a wax in it. 
The constant action of the decomposing substance is a 
poisoning process. 

A cleansing of the ear is a cure and it is hastened by a 
washing of the channel for a short distance with a diluted 
alcohol. A surgeon should do the washing. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 23 1 

NERVOUS DEAFNESS. 

A weakness of the auditory nerve causes a loss of 
hearing. A paralysis of the nerve is a cause of total deaf- 
ness. In either case the fault is with the brain. A weak 
brain is failing to supply the nerve with a sufficient 
amount of corpuscles and electric current. "Only a 
strengthening of the brain is to be performed in the cure 
of the disorder. A good blood and a plenty of rest will 
strengthen the brain. 



A CONSOLIDATION OF ELECTRIC- 
ITY IN THE SO-CALLED 
TYMPANUM. 

An additional coating of the whole surface of the middle 
ear is often produced, and it is a mere consolidation of a 
current of electricity in the chamber upon its walls. There 
is nothing else in the chamber to construct such a membrane 
from, and there is not a membrane in the body that is not 
a consolidation of a current of electricity generated by 
some organ in which or around which the membrane is 
constructed. An auditory nerve is the generator of the 
current in the ear. A copying of a construction of a soul 
is capable of discovery in the operation. The soul is a 
lining of a cell of consolidated electricity. The cause of 
the consolidation is a cooping of the current of the nerve 
in the ear by a wax in the outer channel. The extra 



232 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 



membrane thus created only operates to give a different 
character of sound to the nerve, and it is often given but 
a short attention by the person having it. A cure is 
unnecessary and impossible. 




GHAPTRR IV. 



PHILOSOPHY OF REPRODUCTION. 

OFFICES OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY. 

A complete description of the operations that give 
origin and development to a human being, is as much an 
impossibility as the counting of the stars, and solely for 
the reason that the number of phenomena is so great. 
A catalogue is beyond the capacity of a person to make. 
The whole of the philosophy of the operations can be 
given. This is the purpose of this chapter. A want 
of description of a great number of the smaller oper- 
ations of the philosophy, will be no detriment to the work, 
for the observer of the philosophy can complete the descrip- 
tion in a sufficient time, by a careful following of the 
methods of construction and control, and considering that 
an intelligence is in the power that is adopting the philoso- 
phy and giving it execution. 

A commencement of the description to be offered is 
the statement that all life and animal organization is a 
so-called spontaneous generation, and that in this work an 
intelligent power is giving the form and capacities, and 
the power and consciousness that all living beings pos- 



234 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

sess, and also that the construction of the body is a con- 
tinuation of an intelligent power that gives the commence- 
ment of the organization. 

A discussion of the origin of animal species is not 
proper in this place, and only a reference to a few of the 
controlling or more important facts of the operation can 
he pointed to. In a chapter upon the origin of such specie3, 
there can be found a competent disclosure of the whole of 
the grand order of work for giving a world its creatures. 

A commencement of a development of a person, is 
the act of copulation between parents. A copulation is 
but a creation of a circuit of electricity that embraces both 
persons, and which circuit is created by a contact of the 
sexual organs of the parents, and a pair of lips. In all 
the offices of copulation by animals, as well as persons, a 
union of the bodies at two points is a necessity, and with- 
out which a conception is impossible. 

Every creature is given a desire to connect the mouth 
as well as sexual organs in the operation of sexual inter- 
course, and it is but part of the operation. A woman is 
the only female creature who is permitted to face her com- 
panion in the act of cohabitation, and this special giving of 
a capacity to observe a person who is to be the father of 
her children, is the provision for bestowing a father's face 
to a child in a measure, and a father's disposition in a 
smaller measure. A kiss is bestowed upon the lip of 
each by each, and this operation is solely for the purpose 
of giving a current of electricity, obtained by the uterus, 
a coursing quite around the bodies of both parents. A 
wise and all-competent author of the affair could see that 
a circuit of the power would be insufficient if a connection 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 235 

of the lips, which are over a comb of nerves, was not made. 
A chance to discover the operation is given in the copula- 
tion of all animals, in a union of the lips or the organs 
connected with the spinal column of the female, with the 
lips or other part of the male companion, and an exception 
to this completion of the instrumentalities of a circuit of 
electricity cannot be found in all the animal kingdom. 

The continuation of the operation of copulation is as 
long as a drawing into the uterus of the female of a soul 
of a plant, or animal, is being performed. In the case of 
animal copulation, a soul of a plant is pulled into the ute- 
rus through the abdomen walls of the female. In the act 
of copulation between persons, a soul of an animal is 
pulled into the uterus through the walls of the abdomen 
over the ovaries, and all that the ovaries are located at the 
sides of the body for is to prevent the body of the male 
companion obstructing the operation while coition is 
performed. In some animals, as in the horse, one act .of 
copulation is sufficient, and because a pulling into the 
womb of the female of a plant soul, is possible by one act 
of cohabitation. The cause of this capacity in the horse, 
or in both, is the greater activity of the sexual organs in 
copulation, a fact one can discern by an acquaintance 
with the animal's sensual propensities. The necessity for 
a quick. accomplishment of this kind on the horse, is the 
greater want of a power to give creation to offspring in 
this species, by a double or triple delivery of offspring. In 
other species, as the cow or bovine order, the act is per- 
formed several times, and because the female is not capaci- 
tated for conception without, and the want of capacity is 
a thick and fatty wall to her body. 



236 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

All human females are unable to conceive when a 
great amount of fat is covering the sides of their bodies, 
except in acts of copulation of unusual excitement, and 
sometimes not at all. 

In this construction of a current of electricity, and 
giving it a circuit, there is the same operation for per- 
forming a work of creation or unfoldment, as when a 
plant is constructed, or a world is given development, or a 
performance of any affair in which a current of electricity 
is given a circuit. Only a want of capacity to observe a 
purpose for a current of electricity in all the affairs of a 
developing creation, was the cause of a total ignorance of 
the physiologist and physician, concerning the construction 
of a child or any offspring of a living creation. The 
medical profession is to discover a complete solution of the 
problem in what this chapter contains if what is stated is a 
fact. It is always to be given acceptance, for the observ- 
ation of the fact is all that is needed to give it accept- 
ance. 

A womb is but a sac of corpuscles given existence 
for the purpose of furnishing a bath-room for a generation 
of life, and it was never created until the atmosphere was 
so deprived of water that it could not afford a generation 
of a creature. All of the scientists of the globe are unable 
to discover that a womb is given only to such species of 
creatures as are existing in a dry element, and that all 
those which are created in water or in a very damp place, 
are without a bath-tub in the body for the purpose. A 
glance at the creatures who are spawning from eggs, will 
give the great fact at once, and the further fact that only 
a spawning bed in a damp chamber of the body is a womb. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 237 

An observation of the chapter on the origin of species must 
be had for a greater disclosure of this fact. 

The other organs of copulation in the female, are a 
means for the male organ to approach the womb, and a 
clitoris for the purpose of exciting a desire for the opera- 
tion. A veritable penis in the female, is this last named 
organ, and it 'is all that she possesses of a faculty for a sen- 
sual gratification. Many women are without such an organ 
of much development, and a cohabitation is of no pleasure 
to them, and it is not of the slightest consequence in the 
capacity of the female for conceiving. The mere act is all 
that is needed to give the womb a substance for a child's 
commencement of construction. The other affairs are but 
a covering of the organs described, of such a character as 
give comfort and good appearance to the abdomen and its 
base. Hair is given the base of the abdomen above the 
sexual organs in both sexes, for an absorbing of the am- 
monia that ascends from the urine, and to adorn the parts. 
A woman without hair in this locality is a wanton in char- 
acter, and the absence of hair is the constant excitement 
of the sexual organ of excitement, which absorbs a current 
of the marrow in the pelvis, and prevents a hair being con- 
structed over it. 

The organs of copulation in the male are the penis 
and the testicles. A cord is extending from the testicle to 
the blood at the sides of the body, only for supplying cor- 
puscles for the testicles as fast as they are decomposed. 
The testicles are but chambers for the deposit of the cor- 
puscles of the blood given through the spermatic cords, and 
for an excitement of the penis when copulation is wanted 
by the female ; and a periodic discharge of the corpuscles is 



238 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

performed every few days when copulation does not occur. 
The decomposition of the corpuscles is but slight when 
there is no agitation given the testicle by the female, and 
the agitation is hut a contraction of the scrotum. The 
contraction is a peristaltic motion as in the intestines, and 
a current of electricity is the operator of the motion. A 
woman is capable of giving a male person a current of this 
power that is at once set to agitating a scrotum and the 
testicles. The consequence is the desire for cohabitation. 
The desire is only an excitement of the penis, and a gland 
upon its end is the curious caller for a co-operation 
with the female. A call is always capable of obtaining a 
response, when the person is one a woman is admiring, if 
her judgment is not sufficient to await a marriage for the 
act. When a consummation of the act is obtained, a com- 
plete exhaustion of the parties is also obtained. The 
female is in a species ©f trance, and a male is in a condi- 
tion of delirium for a whole hour or more. The atmos- 
phere is a savior of life in each, and both would die in a 
few minutes, were it not for the current of electricity 
obtained from the atmosphere. At the consummation of 
the act a deep and active breathing of the atmosphere is 
the means of obtaining what is necessary to save life. 
When a conception is accomplished, a woman is made to 
know it, if she is deserving to know it, and it is learned by 
a sense of complete satisfaction with the act. A discharge 
of the corpuscles of the testicles occurs as a consequence 
of a current of electricity discharged by the testicles into 
the penis and out its channel and pores. The loss of the 
corpuscles is given replenishment by a pulling of the cor- 
puscles of the blood into the testicles from the blood ves- 



cause: and cure; of disease. 239 

sels at the upper ends of the spermatic cords. It is the 
exhaustion of the corpuscles of the blood in this manner 
that produces the general debility of the body, and gives a 
brain a weak and imperfect condition where an abuse of 
the reproductive faculties is practiced. A sensual person 
is giving his blood a depletion all the time, if there is 
opportunity, and only a good digestion and nourishing 
food continue his strength and capacity to copulate A 
person of delicate organization is unable to bear the drain 
to any great extent. This is all a work of this character 
demands concerning the office of copulation, and it is in 
fact all there is of it a knowledge of which is of the slightest 
value to a physician or parent. 

The most wonderful of all operations in creation has 
yet to be described in connection with the operation of 
conception, and the development of a child. In the com- 
ments that are to be given upon these subjects, a necessity 
is found for the most careful attention of the reader, and 
without such attention a comprehension of the philosophy 
is impossible. 

A pulling into the womb of the female of a soul of an 
animal, is the consequence of an attraction operated by the 
excited uterus upon the affair thus controlled, and the ani- 
mal copy is merely given an attraction to the surface of 
the organ as a steel dust or atom is attracted to a com- 
mon magnet. Around all persons is a forest of the souls 
of both plants and animals, and such objects constitute 
the so-called nitrogen gas of the atmosphere. A copy of 
the plant or animal is but the linings of the cells of the 
original organization discharged into the atmosphere at 
the decomposition of the grosser construction. The copy 



240 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

is without life or power to move, and it is only a gaseous 
phantom of the original object. 

When an animal conceives, a plant phantom or soul is 
the object pulled into the womb. "When a human female 
conceives a soul or phantom of an animal is drawn into 
the organ. A reason for such selections is altogether too 
subtle a matter for discussion at this point, and it is of 
no consequence in the chapter. A description of the 
means of choice is to be found in the chapter on the origin 
of species. 

"When a soul of an animal is in the body, and in con- 
tact with the uterus, it is finally pulled into it, and by a 
stronger current of the attracting power being on the inner 
surface of the organ, and which condition of the excite- 
ment of the organ is a well known fact. The occupation 
by the womb of this copy of a creation, is the commence- 
ment of a child's construction, and the character of the 
creature whose soul is employed is to be discovered in all 
the propensities and traits of the child when it is born. 

A child is but a creature of a more capacitated devel. 
opmeut both in form and faculties. A form is given 
it that permits a use of the arms and hands in a work of 
construction of any character of which the mind is capa- 
ble of obtaining a conception, and a mind is given it that 
is more capacitated in amount of a particular faculty. 
These additions to the capacities of the child after trans- 
formation are all that are given it more than the animal 
possessed. In all particulars, except in a use of an arm 
and in a greater capacity of a particular organ of the brain 
and a partial change of form of the body, a child is the 
animal still. A competent person who is without a super- 



CAUSK AND CURH OF DISEASK, 24 1 

stition or prejudice is able to observe that this is a fact 
barely by an observation of the person, and the animal 
whose soul supplied the origin of the creation. All of the 
medical profession are accepting a teaching that a child is 
obtained from a conversion of an insect of microscopical 
observation that is given the female by the male person 
in the semen at copulation. The claim is a scapegoat 
explanation for a want of any understanding of the 
method for producing a child or any creature that is 
derived from a copulation of the sexes. 

The insect is but a conversion of a cell of the blood 
into a creature, and one can be found in every particle of 
stagnant water, or blood, or decaying flesh or plant on the 
globe, and in every organ of the body when a decomposi- 
tion of its tissues is taking place. The most contempti- 
ble of all speculations upon a natural operation is this 
theory of the origin of a child, and it is a monstrous dis- 
grace to the whole profession of medicine or physiology. 
A conversion of such a simple organization as this insect 
into a human being would be a miracle of astonishing 
character, and the only one in the whole universe. A want 
of any knowledge of either the commencement of life or of 
the purpose or cause of a flow of corpuscles from the testi- 
cles at cohabitation is the cause of this disgrace of a 
great class of otherwise the most competent observers of 
nature in the world. , It is a shame to permit it to be 
given a community longer, and it is not to be done in a 
couple of -years after what is to be published in this book 
is in the physicians' hands. 

The use of a semen is only to continue an excitement 
of the uterus after copulation is performed for a couple 



242 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

of hours, and it is often the case that a discharge of it at 
once will destroy a conception. Only occasionally is this 
possible, but a fact indisputable is the conception of a 
woman while a constant practice of washing the vagina 
immediately after cohabitation is performed. The claim 
is so absolutely foolish it is a degradation to discuss it. 

A conception being accomplished a current of elec- 
tricity of the womb is the operator in the conversion of 
the animal object into a human being. The whole of the 
performance is as much an intelligent work of this cur- 
rent as the construction of a coat from cloth by a tailor. 
It is a far greater amount of intelligence that is operated. 
It is, in fact, an almighty operation than which there is 
no greater in a whole universe of operations, so far as 
intelligence is concerned. The most important and the 
most astonishing work of a current of the power of crea- 
tion is the construction of a child and its soul. The con- 
struction is the one accomplishment of a power of intelli- 
gence that is completing the triumph of creation, or giving 
a paradise an occupant. When a child is constructed a 
most astonishing operation is performed in its birth, and 
it is a prodigy of capacity of a current of electricity. It is 
but a work of omnipotent wisdom and philosophy of 
operation. 

To give its description in a competent manner is all 
that is necessary for its acceptance by a world of competent 
minds. A correct description of a process of nature is all 
the demonstration of the fact that is wanted by a compe- 
tent mind, and it is all that can be given. A demonstration 
by any devices of a mechanism or art is but a delusion 
and it never fails to mislead the investigator. A work of 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 243 

creation cannot be copied by a mortal, nor can its process 
be given illustration when a device of the finite mind is 
giving it a meddling and a control. 

Now when a conception is advanced to the point of a 
commencement of a construction of the infant, there is 
simply an applanation of the cells or corpuscles of the 
ovaries to a construction of the organs that are made of 
corpuscles, and not given existence through a process of 
growth. A child is not growing by a process of cell con- 
struction from a digested food uutil a stomach and oesoph- 
agus and swallow and circulation and intestines are con- 
structed. Any person is competent to see that all of tbese 
things are to be in a child before it can eat or possess a 
means of growing, and that some process must be oper- 
ated to construct these organs before the child can devour 
any food. Of course if these organs are not produced by 
a food eaten by the child they must be given creation in 
another way than growth, and to ascertain in what way it 
is done a consideration of a work of some sort of power or 
attractions is necessary. To discover what power it is, it is 
only necessary to discover what is in a uterus, and it is 
very easy to discover that only a current of electricity is in 
it when a conception is accomplished. A physician of 
course is now understanding that a womb contains nothing 
of a character of a substance that is capable of being 
detected. 

The most astonishing fact is forced upon the mind 
that a current of an unseen force is actually performing 
the wonderful operation of appropriating corpuscles to a 
construction of a foetus, and preparing a means for an 
eating and digesting of food and growing of a child. The 



244 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

operation is all performed by pulling corpuscles from the 
ovaries and sticking them around a soul of a creature that 
is in the uterus. The sticking of them is the work of 
so-called attraction, and it is a mere work of an intelli- 
gent power of placing tiny objects together in a way to 
accomplish a purpose and give the contact an endurance 
as long as the purpose of the object requires and no 
longer. 

A construction of all the organs necessary for a com- 
mencement of eating arid growth is performed in this 
manner, and all such organs in the body can be found to 
be but corpuscles of the ovaries given a construction into 
such organs and that only a corpuscle is in them. 

A mere animal brain and spinal column are given the 
child as the first step in the work of construction, and 
when it is obtained an assistant is also obtained, as a 
use is made of the affair in constructing the balance of 
the organs a current of electricity constructs. A secondary 
battery is given the uterus, and it is tbe operator of the 
construction of the nerves and bones and the marrow in 
the bones. A bare following of a nerve and marrow of a 
soul of an animal is performed in the construction of the 
nerves and marrow of the child, and only such organs as 
are wanted in the human creation are given a following 
in this work. The selection is merely the abandonment 
of what are not wanted, and the abandoned object is given 
a decomposition in the work of copying the others. 

Every monstrosity of a character that is disclosing a 
creature's organs or any part of them, is but a complete or 
partial reconstruction of these parts of an animal in the 
operation of constructing a child, and every such affair is 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 245 

solely for the purpose of giving people a clue to the origin 
of a person. It is wholly unnecessary as a consequence 
of any deficiency of a mother's operations, and when it is 
only a consequence of a mother's want of force, a child is 
destroyed before it is born. There is no accident in any 
affair of creation. A child is just what it is intended to 
be and only this. 

When a spinal column is given a nerve and a marrow 
for all the bones of the body, a powerful battery is given 
the uterus for the balance of the work of construction, and 
from this point only a current of electricity in these organs 
and the spinal column is carrying on the construction. A 
brain and marrow and nerve are actually operating a work 
of giving a child all the other organs of the body. When 
a brain is complete all the nerves and bodies of marrow are 
complete, and a stomach is the next work to be performed. 
From a spinal column possessing only a marrow and cord 
or nerve, a great organ of corpuscles only is constructed, 
and each corpuscle is obtained from the ovaries of the 
mother. A stomach is the object. 

A following of the soul of an animal stomach is per- 
formed in this work, and a sticking of corpuscles around 
it is the work. When the stomach is completed an oesoph- 
agus or gullet is constructed, and a soul of an animal gul- 
let is merely given a sticking of corpuscles. The gullet is 
always the same as that of the animal's except in dimen- 
sions. The dimension is only a matter of contraction or 
stretching after the contraction. When a gullet is made 
an intestine is made, and in this operation a soul of the 
creature's intestine is but given a covering of corpuscles. 
When the intestines are completed a means for a circula- 



246 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

tion of blood is constructed, and it is but a work of packing 
corpuscles around the soul of an animal's blood vessels as 
in all cases of construction of organs before a swallowing 
of food can be made. In all the operations of packing cor- 
puscles around the copies of an animal's organs in the 
womb, only what organs are intended for a person are 
selected. The other parts of the soul are destroyed, and 
given a final dismissal from existence. The whole operation 
is the execution of a God's capacity for giving a person con- 
struction, and the God is the current of electricity in the 
womb. 

When a circulation is provided for, a swallow of cor- 
puscles is made. An instant only elapses after the com- 
pletion of the channels of circulation before a gullet is, 
without jaws or any organ at its top, actually swallowing 
the corpuscles of the ovaries of the mother, and which are 
brought to the gullet by a current of electricity coming 
into the stomach through the gullet. When a swallow of 
corpuscles and their accompanying water is performed, a 
blood is given a commencement of construction, and only 
a continuation of the swallowing of corpuscles and a 
digestion is performed to fill the channels of circulation 
with blood. All the corpuscles and water that are not 
given the channels of circulation are passed to the intes- 
tines and in them the substances are considerably further 
digested and a strength given the body of both mother and 
child by a current of power generated in the operation. 
All of the offal of the intestines is retained in them until 
after a birth, and for a very obvious purpose. The child 
is to give a mother only a most delightful influence, and it 
is the good influence it gives her that produces a love 



CAUSED AND CURE OF DISEASE. 247 

for it before it is born. A digestion is but of cor- 
puscles, and it is bestowing nearly all the objects to the 
circulation; first to fill the channels of circulation, and 
then to afford a substance for the growth of the organs 
not constructed, and a current of the good power for a 
delivery of the child into the atmosphere. Only for the 
purpose of affording a people a. glimpse of a fact connected 
with the development of an offspring is there given a parti- 
cle of substance to the intestine or any permitted to 
remain in the stomach after a digestion is commenced, or 
at the time of the birth of the child. A world of physi- 
cians are to this day unable to fathom the problem of the 
existence of food in a -stomach of an infant at its birth, or 
of a decomposed food in its intestines, and only a ground 
for an absurd or worthless explanation of the facts was 
wanted to have given such a folly to a people. A clue of any 
character could not be obtained, and a scapegoat of expla- 
nation could not be got into the problem. It has been 
wanting an explanation to this day, and a good one is 
come if this work is correct. 

After the blood is in the channels of circulation a 
growth commences, and every operation of the previous 
plan of constructing an organ is stopped. A competent 
construction of all the organs of the body that are not then 
constructed can be performed by the process of a construc- 
tion of cells called growth. Only a change in the method 
of employing the corpuscles of the ovaries is performed 
when an eating of them is begun, and it is a most con- 
vincing demonstration of the fact that the power that is con- 
structing the body is capable of giving consideration to the 
operation. 



248 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

"When growth is commenced a construction of cells 
and a pressing of corpuscles out of the blood and a consoli- 
dating of the destroyed portions of a marrow of a brain, 
bone and nerve are performed. A current of the almighty 
power of the blood that is passing through it and what is 
obtained by a burning of corpuscles in the blood is the 
constructor of cells. A current from the uterus is giving 
the circulation and it is augmented by a decomposition 
of the corpuscles in the blood. All that a burning of cor- 
puscles is for is to furnish a current for the blood in 
addition to what it possesses, and frorn which a cell is 
constructed. The construction of a cell is but a consoli- 
dation of a current of the power at the orifice of a pore of 
the blood vessel, and a tissue is but a continuous line of 
cells given a hole directly through them for a passage of 
the current to the extremity. The hole is constructed by 
a burning of the connecting sides of the cells. All the 
corpuscles of the blood not burned up by a current of 
electricity in the blood are pressed out of the blood vessels 
at their turns and greater ends and given a condition of the 
character called glands. All tbe glands are but masses of 
the blood's corpuscles given a corner of the body by a 
pressing of them out of the blood at a turn or at an end of 
the channel of circulation. A description of all of these 
so-called glands will be given as we proceed. A muscle 
and fat are all the organs of the body constructed by a 
growth proper, or by a construction of cells as described. 
In a fat there is simply a packing of the crevices of the 
body for the purpose of completing its form and symmetry. 
Every particle of the fat in a person can be removed 
without destroying life or making the body less capacitated 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 249 

for a labor or motion or power of motion, and only the 
operation of taking it away will injure the person. A 
construction of more fat would commence at once, and 
it would be in all respects the same kind of matter. The 
substance is but a mass of cells constructed exactly as a 
bubble is constructed on a fluid, and a particle of difference 
between the two objects cannot be found except in the 
density of their walls. A bubble on water is observed 
only on account of the vapor around it, and a bubble on a 
thicker substance is capable of enduring weeks or 
months. 

A muscle is but a lobe of fat given a slight saturation 
of blood, and the blood is the affair that gives it its color 
and the character of fiber. A mere burning of the surface 
of a tissue by a warm blood converts a fat into a muscle. 
These two conditions of cells are, as was just stated, all 
that is constructed by a process of growth in the body, 
and they are all a growth is wanted for. The cells of the 
glands are but the corpuscles of the blood pressed into the 
corners of the body where a use can be given masses of 
cells. 

The bones are but consolidated portions of the mar- 
row in them that is decomposed in its operations and cast 
upon the surface of the mass. This is all that can be 
said of the construction of bone for the reason it is all 
that occurs to give a bone existence. A cartilage is only 
a partly consolidated bone, and a cartilage is always con- 
nected with a bone and it constitutes but a portion of one 
object. A current of the good power that is passing 
through a marrow is the decomposer of a corpuscle in the 
marrow, and it is given the organ only for a greater con- 



250 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

struction of a bone. The process of increasing a bone is as 
simple as a dumping of sand into a puddle of water. The 
eyes and ears are constructed by a substance discharged 
from the nerves that terminate in them, except the lids of 
the eyes, and a bone of the ear and the outer flange. A nail 
is constructed from a substance discharged from a comb 
of nerves that terminates at the base of the nails, and the 
teeth are but constructions from a discharged substance 
from the nerves that terminate in them. A chapter on 
each of the subjects of the eyes and ears must be examined 
in order to find a complete description of the construction 
of these organs. 

When a muscle and fat are being constructed a gland 
is being given creation also, and only a pressing of the 
corpuscles of the blood out of the fluid, where it is given a 
sharp turn, or is surging in considerable quantity against 
the end of a blood vessel is the operation of constructing, 
a gland. The purpose of a gland is to operate a power or 
perform the office of padding a single or a number of 
organs. Those that exert a power are where a species of 
attraction for a current of electricity is wanted, and all of 
them are for this purpose except the liver and spleen. 
Both these great glands are for the purpose merely of pad- 
ding a portion of the abdomen. A particle of use of either 
except this, is not given either of them. All of the other 
glands are performing an office of giving a current of elec- 
tricity an attraction from the blood by which a work of 
power or assistance is performed. 

A cord or tendon is but a dried-up portion of a mar- 
row, and the opportunity for it to dry up is the separation 
of it from the marrow in the bone. A gradual construe- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 25 1 

tion of a bone was a means of separating the marrow from 
a branch. A tendon is white and solid only because a 
whole cell was contracted in its construction. A bone is 
only different in its substance by a decomposition of mar- 
row before it is consolidated into a bone. One end of a 
tendon is always attached to a bone and the other is in 
a muscle. 

In this connection of a tendon with a muscle and 
bone and originally with a marrow, and the marrow of 
a bone with a spinal column, and the spinal column with 
a brain, and a system of nerves also with the brain, a 
continuation of a plant's form and branches is to be 
observed in a human body. A brain is the base of the 
plant ; a spinal column is its trunk ; a marrow of the other 
bones, and the tendons once connected with them, are 
branches, and the bundles of cells and tissues in a muscle 
at the ends of the tendons are the bundles of a foliage or 
spindles of the plant. The nerves are but a continuation 
of a branch from the base of the trunk. All of this carica- 
turing of a plant in a person or creature is the consequence 
of a plant being the origin of an animal, and an animal 
the origin of a human being — a mere continuation of a por- 
tion of a plant that was given conversion into a creature. 
No power of the human intellect is sufficient to give a denial 
of this most astonishing display of a construction of a per- 
son from the unseen copy of an animal, and of a construc- 
tion of an animal from a similar copy of a plant. The copy 
is still seen in both the living orders. It is a fact alone 
sufficient to forever blast the degrading folly of a theory of 
animal origin as given by the noted Darwin, but it is but 
a speck of the evidence of a correct and different claim 



252 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

of such beginnings of animal organizations. A chapter 
upon animal origin must be examined in order to give 
the reader a comprehension of our idea of a work of a 
Creator for giving a world a suitable kingdom of ani- 
mals. 

A skin is but a slight decomposition of the surface of 
a muscle and fat. Only a slight burning of the outer 
cells of the body by a current of electricity gives a person 
a skin. The operation is precisely the same as a construc- 
tion of rind upon a fruit or vegetable. A shell all over 
the skin is constructed by a cell of the marrow that is 
decomposed and cast on the surface of the marrow and 
not converted into bone. All the substance of decom- 
posed marrow is given a bone or forced out to the surface 
of the body through the pores and constructed into bair or 
a rind over the body. Over a marrow bone a hair is pro- 
fuse, and where a flesh is deep it is very meagre. The 
greater the marrow the greater the amount of hair over it. 
The brain produces the most. A force discharged by the 
marrow in its decomposition is the producer of the hair 
over the marrow, and the substance of the character of 
that of the hair that is not given the hair is washed around 
the body in the blood and cast upon the whole surface of 
the body. 

A control of this as in every operation of the body by 
an intelligence in the power that is operating is the cause 
of the wonderful competency of the work. 

A closing of this chapter can be made by a descrip- 
tion of the abuses of the reproductive organs, and a cure 
for their injuries and the consequences of the injuries upon 
the organization. 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 253 

ABUSES OF THE SEXUAL FACULTIES. 

When a youth of either sex has acquired a quantity 
of blood sufficient for a corpuscle to be spared from it 
without injury to the body, a commencement of a devel- 
opment of the glands of the body is made, and the acqui- 
sition of a capacity for begetting or bearing children is 
only a development of the glands of the sexual organs, 
and a strengthening of the organs connected with them, 
and an increase of the size of each. 

All that the change is for is to give capacity for a 
procreation of the race. A girl is given the change at an 
earlier age than a boy for the reason that she is more 
capable of bearing a change, and a capacity for bearing a 
change is in the fact that a waste of corpuscles of the 
ovaries with the female does not occur at the act of cop-- 
ulation as with the male. The discbarge of the ovaries is 
into the uterus, and a strength is given the woman or girl 
by a decomposition of the corpuscles in the organ. A waste 
only is the consequence of coition in the male. As a gen- 
eral fact a girl becomes capacitated for child bearing at 
the age of thirteen, and a boy at the age of fourteen. 

A difference in the degree of development is but a 
consequence of a difference in the development of the 
circulation. When a development capable of begetting 
children has occurred, a mother and father of chil- 
dren are created, so far as capacity to cause a birth of 
a child is concerned. A use of the capacity is for 
this purpose, and for causing an affection between the 
father and mother. A waste of the power for creating 
children is the most unendurable of all possible wastes 



254 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

the body by an operation of its faculties, and only a 
glance at the construction of the organs of procreation 
and the habits of people in all conditions of life is wanted 
to demonstrate this fact. 

An abuse of the organs is only an increase of the 
waste of the blood's corpuscles. Only a greater waste, 
and in a way to permit a separation in a few hours of the 
fresh corpuscles of the blood from the decomposing por- 
tions. The abuse is given a consequence in the weaken- 
ing of the blood in respect to corpuscles, and in a weaken- 
ing of the nerves in point of strength. All the nerves 
of the body and the brain and the marrow in the bones 
are given a great excitement at the act of producing an 
excitement of the sexual organs, and a prostration of 
each of these is produced by an abuse of the power of the 
procreative faculties. 

A proper use of the passions is cohabitating of the 
sexes about once a week, and in a very strong couple 
as often as twice a week. Perfect strength and power 
of mind are then preserved. An abuse of the passions 
in an unnatural way is a complete destruction of a power 
of the body and mind without obtaining an equivalent from 
the opposite sex. In a natural exercise of the faculty, 
each person can compensate the other for a loss of power 
in a measure, and a use of the organs without a compan- 
ion for an object of the indulgence is without this com- 
pensation. 

A most certain cause of death is the bad practice, and 
it is only a question of time when the death will come. 
A few years are endured by some", and a few months by 
others. Only a guardian of the person in a world unseen 



cause: and cure of disease;. 255 

gives a longer lease of life to such an abuser of his organ- 
ization. This guardian is a current of electricity in the 
atmosphere, and it is never favoring such a debauchee 
unless a capacity for a considerable good work in the world 
is possessed by him or her. Almost all of such persons are 
dead within five years from the commencement of their bad 
practice. _« 

In the articles on diseases a cure for a consequence of 
an abuse of the body by a masturbation is given. It is 
unnecessary to give it again here. 




CHAPTER V. 



ORIGIN OF ANIMAL SPECIES. 

A consideration of the origin of animal species in this 
work is only to supplement a chapter on the offices of elec- 
tricity in the human body, and the philosophy of reproduc- 
tion. A want of a following of the work into a king- 
dom of animals would be a serious deficiency in the work. 
All, of course, that can be offered in a work of this kind is 
a bare glimpse of the philosophy of the mighty plan of 
giving a world its creatures. The plan is mighty both in 
extent and in method. A most degrading and worthless 
proposition is offered the world in what is called the Dar- 
win theory of evolution, and it is accepted by the so- 
called scientists, almost without exception, and it is given 
an attempt at swallowing by a clergy. Every person of any 
considerable competency of mind who is not given all he 
is believing by a preacher of science, is able to see that 
there is no possibility of the theory being correct, and all 
such people are satisfied that a discussion of its absurdity 
is unnecessary. The proposition is that at the commence- 
ment of giving animal existence some character of sub- 
stance was possessing an inherent power of working itself 
into an animal and that one or many minute creatures of 



CAUSE AND CURE OK DISEASE. 257 

some degree of organization were thus brought into exist- 
ence, and that in a considerable time by the force of what 
are called environment and a change of food and climate, 
a change was obtained in the form of the earliest of creat- 
ures and a most wonderful increase of the size of many 
was thus obtained. That in a further period of time a still 
further change was produced in the then existing creatures 
and by th.e same influences, and that a great many of the 
species thus given existence were completely destroyed by 
a change of climate, or a change of food, or its absence, and 
by a destruction of the stronger by the weaker. That 
every change was without any control or operation of law 
except what a chance condition of affairs or chance 
change of climate or chance existence of the stronger was 
permitting, and that all the survivors were better classes 
of animals than those that perished. A particle of idea that 
a certain operation of creation called natural law, or of a 
creation as a result of law, or that a mind of any character 
was concerned in the operations of giving origin to the 
creatures, or that any work of intelligence was ever oper- 
ated in a creature's constitution, or that any object or sub- 
stance except what is considered matter was in the whole 
of the creation, is not given in the work of the author of 
the theory, or by any of its apostles. 

The entire affair is but a scheme for explaining the ex- 
istence of a world of animals without admitting that a God 
or a law, or any object was concerned with or connected 
with it. Every particle of the work is but an effort or part 
of one to convince people that all creation is but a chance 
affair and that a claim that any intelligence, or plan or con- 
trol of the operations of nature is a fact, is but a folly. The 



258 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

author was of this belief and he was merely attempting to 
make all others believe it. He is without a follower except 
a class of persons who are of the same condition of mind. 
A person is not on the earth to-day who can admit for a 
moment that this theory is a fact, unless it is one who is 
only capable of believing that a matter is the foundation 
of creation, and that all changes in it are but chance 
affairs. One who is of a different opinion cannot believe 
this theory. The proposition is but a mere means of pre- 
paring a people to accept a correct and demonstrable dis- 
closure of the beginning of animal and human creatures, 
and it was given the world only for this effect. A parti- 
cle of the proposition will not be given belief in a-half 
score of years, and all the so-called scientists of the world 
who are so enthusiastically declaring that the gospel is cor- 
rect, are to commence a denial of the hypothesis in less 
time and assist in getting it disbelieved by all others. No 
effort of the believers of the gospel can stay its destruction 
for a single hour, and its destruction is already begun. 
"When a purpose of any affair or object is completed a 
death of the thing is come. Even now at least one-half of 
the teachers of popular science are becoming disgusted 
with the proposition and are giving it silence in their work. 
A wholly different and perfectly acceptable and dem- 
onstrable explanation of animal and human origin is 
given in the work of the author already in the hands of 
the people, and a word of contradiction or discussion of 
its facts will never be given while a people are inhabiting 
a globe. It is but necessary to know what the explana- 
tion is to become satisfied that it is correct, and a dunce 
in capacity is the only person who is not convinced. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 259 

The present article is but a synopsis of that work, but 
it shall be quite enough to give a clue to the entire philos- 
ophy of the construction of animal orders and human 
races. 

A creature is but a plant given a greater develop- 
ment. 

A person is but a creature given greater development. 
A vegetable kingdom is converted into an animal kingdom, 
and an animal kingdom is converted into a human king- 
dom. 

All that is necessary for the giver of these propositions 
to do in order to satisfy a people that they are correct is to 
give the necessary explanation of the modus operandi of the 
conversion of one order into another, and then disclose 
the evidence that the process was actually performed by 
showing the correspondence of the copy with the original, 
and pointing out the continuing parts of the original in the 
copy, and the degree of the change that took place. 

This work is perfectly within the power of a person 
to perform and it shall be done in this chapter, so far 
as to disclose the operation and perform the compari- 
son of a few of such classes of creatures with their origin, 
and to point to the continuing parts of the original in the 
copy. The work shall not be deficient except in a want 
of a comparison of all the animals with the plants of 
their origin, and a comparison of the human races with 
the creatures that furnished their origin. 

A balance of the comparisons of such orders with their 
origin will be all that will be lacking of a complete disclo- 
sure of the whole of the great wonder of the origin of 
animals and of man. 



26o CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

It will riot contain a fact that is consistent with the 
so-called Darwin theory, or a proposition that supports it. 
All there is in the work of the famous author of the so- 
called evolution theory that is not to be denied in what this 
work will contain, is the fact stated in the work of this per- 
son that a human capacity is the same as that of a creature 
except in extent. 

A commencement of animal existence was a conse- 
quence of a plant's decay. By decay is meant decom- 
position. By decomposition is meant only a passing from 
one condition of substance toward another in the direction 
of a common influence called electricity — a bare return 
of matter to a condition of this power. When a plant 
decayed, a soul of the plant was given the atmosphere, or, 
if it decayed in the water, the water was its recipient. 
The operation occurs to-day and it always will while 
plants are grown. A creature decays or dies, and its soul 
is given the atmosphere or water, according to the 
element in which it perishes, as in case of plants, and 
this operation was and always will be operated. From a 
plant soul a creature was and now is constructed. From 
an animal soul a person was and now is constructed. 
Every species of plant that has existed has been given an 
advancement of its character into an animal. Every 
plant that is to be given creation on the globe is to be 
given a similar advancement. A copying of every species of 
plant in an animal construction is the plan or so-called law 
of developing creatures. All plants that are now coming 
into existence or that are hereafter to come into existnce, 
that are quite original in form, are only small creatures, 
and are not greater than what are called weeds or vegeta- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 26l 

bles. All such new orders of plants are given a copying of 
the character of insects or worms or small reptiles as fast 
as one is given a decay, and all the small creatures of every 
country that are coming into being at this time and were 
without any discovered existence before are such animal 
creations, and the fact of the originality of their existence 
is made known only in the countries where a people have 
for a great while observed all the creatures of the country 
that existed before the coming of the new object of ani- 
mal creation. In uncivilized countries the originality of 
a creature is not suspected. 

A human race obtained its origin of a creature in the 
country where the race is found fo-day, and which place 
has always been the dwelling of the race since it was 
created. A small portion of the people of the Caucasian, 
G-othie and Irish races are to-day out of the country where 
they were given origin. All the other races are at their 
dwelling place, original domicile, except a few persons of 
the order, and these are gone from a more desired dwell- 
ing only because a compulsion operated to separate them 
from it. All savage races are without any departures 
from the place of their origin. The half civilized races are 
given a meager number of departures. The wholly civil- 
ized races are given a considerable departure. 

When a vegetable kingdom was only corals of the 
ocean, all creatures were but corals animated, and given a 
most astonishing copying in the construction of the shells 
and figures on the creatures. When plants of the order 
of ferns were developed a radiate or fish, according to the 
degree of development of the plant, was given creation. 
When a branched plant was developed a creature possess- 



262 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

ing branches was given origin, and in the legs of all 
creatures only a copying of the branches of a plant are 
observed. A coral branch furnished a turtle's or crab's legs ; 
a short branch on a fern furnished the fin of a fish; a 
considerable branch on a species of pine furnished a leg 
of a greater creature ; a greater development of a pine, 
such as a fir, gave origin to a cat-like creature, and all the 
varieties correspond to the degrees of development of the 
same species of plant. A foliaceous plant was a more 
developed object, and it gave origin to a bear, and a great 
number of the species of great birds, and a blossom on the 
plant to all the other species of birds. A correspondence 
of animal creations in matter of development of organi- 
zation and form, with plant development of organization 
and form is as complete and as observable as a corre- 
spondence of a photograph with the objects given a pictur- 
ing is capable of being seen in all the past and present 
orders of the two kingdoms. A single departure from the 
fact cannot be found, and one never will be found. 

A most wonderful and important fact connected with 
the operation of giving a soul of a plant or creature a 
change into a being of better organisation than the object 
giving the soul possessed, is the work of a current of elec- 
tricity which is the performer. The term electricity is 
employed in this discussion, and throughout the whole 
book, only that a person may understand what power is 
referred to when a description of the force of creation is 
given. The same name is given the power that all per- 
sons are giving it. 

In a conversion of a soul of a plant or creature into a 
better object, a work of both power and intelligence is per- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 263 

formed, and in this wonderful character of operation a 
glimpse is obtained of the momentous fact that the power 
is the mighty worker called God. Only a perception of 
the certain fact that a current of electricity is a part of 
God, and that all the currents of a solar system is all of 
God is wanted by a human family in order for the people 
to comprehend the condition of the Creator and his char- 
acter. 

A practice of observing the manifestation of intelli- 
gence in a body of a person or creature is all that gives 
a person, a scare when it is proposed that a current of 
electricity out of a person or creation is intelligent, and 
this scare is barely a change of the operation of observing 
a fact. A person who is astounded at the proposition, 
and at once flings back a denial of the fact as though it 
was a matter of course that an intelligence is a possession 
of a person or creature, and that it is not possible anywhere 
else, has but to be given what is already in his mind to 
stop all his protest against the fact. He already knows 
that a person without electricity is without intelligence or 
life or power. He already knows that the body is but an 
instrumentality for its operation in an individual, and a 
recalling of these facts is the end of his objections, or any 
possible objections to the fact. 

A conception of the fact that a current of this power 
is precisely as capacitated in all respects when out of a 
brain as when it is in one is but barely acknowledging what 
every one knows, namely, that a current of a power mani- 
festly like electricity is operating a person. It is but this 
acknowledgment. 

A plant soul obtains a current of electricity from a 



264 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

body of water or a diffused water of the atmosphere called 
vapor. The current is the one that is uniting the oxygen 
and hydrogen, and it is merely transferred from the water 
to the unseen object in the water or vapor. If the object 
is in water, a species of jelly is constructed, and the jelly 
will be exactly the same in shape and figures as the plant 
that had perished and given a soul of itself to the water. 
Every jelly fish on the shores of the continent is a plant 
soul given exhibition by a collection of hydrogen gas 
around its surface and around its cells, as the soul is copy- 
ing the grosser cells. 

The hydrogen is only what was in the water at the 
time the soul of the plant was given it. Water is consti- 
tuted of oxygen and hydrogen. Hydrogen is but a fine 
smoke. It is its dark color that gives a blue aspect to the 
sky and distant objects. A current of electricity that 
united the oxygen with the hydrogen is given to the soul 
of the plant, aud when it is in this object it attracts the 
hydrogen thus liberated to itself and the operation is per- 
formed as quickly as a flash of lightning is given. It is 
always done in the dark. 

Now in every jelly fish of the world can be seen the 
very work of the origination of species, and every person 
who can observe one is only observing a complete destruc- 
tion of the so-called Darwin theory. 

When a plant soul is in water a conversion of the 
affair into a creature is as certain as the existence of a 
current of electricity in the water, and in every part of the 
world where the water is above the temperature of fifty 
degrees Fahr. it is being performed. 

Every actual mollusk, and by this term is meant a 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 265 

simple flesh covered with a shell, and the body possess- 
ing no organs for motion when a shell is on it, is but 
plant nut or leaf given conversion into a living object 
as just described and a particle of practice of procreation 
is not performed among them, and a bed of them cannot 
be found except where nuts or leaves are falling into 
the water, or being washed from a place where they 
are falling into a stream. Every oyster is a walnut given a 
conversion into a thing a person can eat. Every particle 
of the foolish hypothesis of the breeding of the oyster or 
other most simple mollusks is only given for the want of 
a fact concerning their origin or creation. Every oyster 
bed is under a walnut grove, or in its vicinity, and a world 
of obtainers of the good food have never been able to 
discern that a walnut from the tree over their heads was 
the cause of a living object of a similar form in the water or 
mud. 

A pointing to the fact that in a water of a temperature of 
fifty degrees Fahr. all plant souls can come into posses- 
sion of life and animal character is performed barely to 
disclose a part of the process of giving animals to the 
world. The water of all oceans and streams or fresh water 
in ponds is possessing the fact that a plant is converted into 
a creature when its soul is wholly out of the organization. 

When a plant has been given a considerable decomposi- 
tion on its surface a jelly (commonly called slime) is found 
on its surface. No one knows where the slime comes 
from, or from what it comes. A mere construction of a 
jelly, as in case of a jelly fish, is given the surface of the 
plant or log, and it is a commencement of the operation of 
converting a plant into a creature. All that is wanted to 



266 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

convert the entire plant into a jelly-like creature is a con- 
tinuation of the same temperature of the water that is pos- 
sessed by it in warm weather. All that permits a whole 
plant, even a tree that is underwater, being converted into a 
great creature as a great reptile of the world once was, is a 
constant warmth of tbe water, and a plenty of the element. 
In cold latitudes a conversion is not performed and because 
the cold destroys the slime each winter. In warm or rather 
in hot latitudes the process is constantly operated and a 
snake is given the water as often as the small plants of the 
grass species are completely decomposed. The common 
water snake is given creation in the waters of a stream or 
swamp in temperate zones, and a quiet condition of the 
water is all that is needed of the element to permit the 
astonishing performance. 

A venomous reptile is given creation in the sluggish 
waters of tbe southern climate, and the fang is but a con- 
sequence of a broken root of the plant, given a bleeding 
construction in the creature's mouth. Only a greater root 
was employed in constructing a tooth in this class of 
snakes. 

An alligator or crocodile is but a pine or species of the 
plant in the other countries of the world given a conver- 
sion by the same process, and it is done in the Ganges 
and Nile this very day. All that prevents it being seen is 
the performance of the operation in the night, and where a 
people are not disturbing the water or giving it a visit. 
A competent proof of the astonishing fact is in the 
appearance of crocodiles in a stream where all that were 
in it were destroyed, and the further fact that a crocodile is 
not passing into a confluent stream, or going out of one 



CAUSE AND CURB OF DISEASE. 267 

into a greater one. This fact is already discovered by the 
people on the banks of the old and famous rivers of Africa 
and Asia. When a person is given a fact as startling as 
this is, the only operation of the mind is a defiance of its 
acceptance, and the defiance is barely a protection of con- 
clusions already in the mind. Only a want of investiga- 
tion is preventing the fact becoming generally known for a 
few years. 

All species of animals are given a capacity to repro- 
duce the species, except the smaller creatures of a more 
simple organization or without any organization. The 
reason for this is the gradual and certain change of the 
condition of the atmosphere, and a change of the character 
of plants which are falling into the water that is warm 
enough for a construction of life to be possible. This 
faculty is but another exhibition of the wisdom and power 
of a current of electricity in the water, that performs a 
conversion of a soul of a plant into a creature in a womb 
of this character. 

A general march of progress of all the operations of 
creation is the plan of a creative power, and a want of 
capacity for a step of progress is never existing. A croco- 
dile is given capacity to deposit eggs, and so is any spe- 
cies of creature that can be given creation in water. A 
womb is not wanted, and it is a perfect demonstration of 
the fact that only a sufficient amount of water is wanted 
in the atmosphere, for a generation of life in this element. 
Only such creatures as are given a dwelling on the land, 
and whose forms place their bodies above a damp ground, 
are given a bath tub in the body for a place of generation 
of offspring. A bird is the only exception, apparently, 



268 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

and when it is given consideration that its egg is a womb 
only, and that it requires a warmth of the body to give it 
a generating power, or, rather, to continue a generating 
power, it is observed that there is, in fact, no exception. 

What a grand explosion of the most constantly 
paraded Darwin hypothesis is this most undeniable fact 
that all generation of life is in a water or vapor, and that 
a plant is only to be decomposed in warm water for the 
production of an animal. It is but a day when all people 
are to observe it, and it is then a part of every child's 
education. 

Now, in respect to the creation of all small creatures 
that are occupying damp and dark places, it is but neces- 
sary to state that all of them are but the plants of the 
same places given a conversion of the character described, 
and all of them are but gaseous constructions around a 
plant soul. All insects that are given a spontaneous gen- 
eration are given only a consolidated gas for a body; 
when an egg is given development in the creature only 
a consolidation of a gas around a plant cell is performed, 
and the difference in the two operations is simply in the fact 
that, in a spontaneous generation, a complete insect is 
made at once, and that in a growth of one a food is given 
conversion into a gas, and which is consolidated about the 
soul of the plant. A great stomach of the insect is only 
a gas retort. The egg is only a mere cell of a plant 
given a bit of gas in the insect's body. All actual insects 
are plant souls clothed with oxygen and hydrogen gas. 
The water of their bodies is given them by a partial separ- 
ation of the oxygen from the hydrogen, and the whole of 
the body is obtained from a vapor of water, or from water 



CAUSE AND CURB OF DISEASE. 269 

in a body. The whole of the bodies of the simpler mol- 
lusks are but the gases of water given different degrees of 
separation, and then consolidated into what is supposed 
to be a flesh. A certain degree of heat will convert the 
supposed flesh into a gas, and this can be discerned when 
one is being boiled. A froth is given the water to the 
extent of the creation of a gas from the body of the 
creature. 

When a bit of investigation is given this proposition, 
another explosion of the applauded Darwin theory is given a 
community. When a person will only consider what is 
now stated, his acceptance of the fact is a necessity. The 
only cause for so long a delay in an uncovering of all the 
processes of animal creation, was a want of conception of 
the character of electricity. All were wanting an under- 
standing of the power that could create an animal, and of 
what was controlling it. 

The plants that are given a change into insects 
are the tiny affairs that grow in all places, but in some 
species of insects a mere cell of the plant is given a 
change. In some a very small blossom and in others a 
couple of leaves and part of a stem that bears them 
are given the conversion. Every insect is but the whole 
or part of a plant, and it is always a part that is most 
developed. The cause of insect organizations being created 
at this period of the world, in great quantities, by a so-called 
spontaneous generation is merely the amount of water in 
the atmosphere where a generation takes place. A water 
is all that is wanted for a current of power to do the work 
of conversion, and it is all that can give a substance for a 
body of the creature. 



270 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE 

A day long past was a day of clouds and partial dark- 
ness of the atmosphere. When this was the fact a greater 
creature could be given origin as well as an insect, and all 
that is to-day preventing the origination of as great creat- 
ures as any in existence is the absence of vapor in the 
atmosphere to such an extent that a current of electricity 
is insufficient to give form and organization to the objects 
a greater plant species is giving and has given the atmos- 
phere. This astounding proposition is as demonstrable 
as the existence of cows and horses, and it is given demon- 
stration by merely a pointing to a few facts already 
observed, some of which are constantly observed. 

A shower of worms is understood when a disclos- 
ure of the fact that the souls of jointed stocks of grass 
are given an animal construction in a cloud in a warm 
night, and after the grass has been destroyed over the 
country. The occurrence is in the fall or early in the 
summer. A garden is disclosing a great number of bugs 
on the same occasions and a person cannot ascertain 
from what or where they were given creation. In both 
tbese appearances of animals only a generation of creat- 
ures from plant souls is performed and a bug is but a 
small vegetable of a garden or farm come into animal 
character. Every one is given a creation in the night in a 
cloud of vapor in the atmosphere. A considerable number 
of great bugs are all at once buzzing around a person in a 
warm and damp air of the evening; at daylight they are 
half dead on a ground or floor. Only a few hours of exist- 
ence are given them, and this in the dark. They are all 
blind and they disclose this fact by a bunting of all objects 
in their path as they fly. One of them is as easily mashed as 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 271 

a canary's egg when it is stepped on or given a thrust with 
a stick. Only a speck of water is in it. This dry and 
coarse affair was only a plant soul in the atmosphere when 
the sun went down. It was given a clothing of oxygen 
a,nd water in an hour afterward, and a power to come about 
a family circle and give members a start. All it is for is to 
give the atmosphere a clearing of gas of a bad character in a 
warm night and all insects are this purpose. A clearing 
of the atmosphere of a portion of its so-called nitrogen is 
the purpose of all insect creations. A scare is upon the 
world when a fact of the character we are giving is fully 
comprehended and generally known. All the gas called 
nitrogen is but the amount of plant and animal souls in 
the space around the world. There is no nitrogen gas that 
is anything but the emanations from plants and animals of 
the character just described. Over an ocean where its bot- 
tom is not covered with plants no nitrogen is existing, and 
a sailor is given a perception of its absence in a desire to 
sleep and be in a quiet condition. He is able to get into a 
hammock and dream of a world of objects on a shore. The 
brain is more active and clear and a breath is more free. 

When a -great mass of jelly is precipitated from a 
cloud at a great elevation in the atmosphere a commence- 
ment of a great creature is cast upon the earth from a 
vapor. When a stringy substance like the slime on a plant 
in the water is given a descent upon the earth from an 
elevation, another commencement of a great creature 
is cast upon the ground from the sky. When these sub- 
stances are red, as they sometimes are, it is because a 
burning of the jelly occurs in the descent as in all rapidly 
descending objects. 



272 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

All these affairs are observed in a period of consider- 
able time in the warmer countries, and their cause has 
been a problem of the greatest interest to the scientist. 
The stare at a great mass of what appeared to be bloody 
jelly showering clown over quite a territory, was as excited as 
a stare at a rainbow by a Hebrew in patriarchal days. The 
great problem can be given solution, and it is given one. 

The conversion of a mass of jelly into a walking 
organization or a swimming one is the next subject for 
consideration. "What could do it, or rather what did do it? 
A child or offspring of an animal can be given construction 
in a womb, all must admit. A chick is constructed from 
a mass of jelly in an egg, is a fact all must admit. "What 
does this is a question of precisely the same character as 
the other. It is the same question only. 

A jelly of the vapor is a gas around the soul of a 
plant in the vapor, and it is given its attraction to the 
soul by a current of electricity in the soul or plant eman- 
ation. Now a creature is produced from the jelly by this 
current, and it is obtained by the power wanting instru- 
mentalities for its operations. Only a purpose of the 
creation of the animal causes the construction of it, and 
this purpose is observed by the current in the soul. A 
construction of instrumentalities of the power for perform- 
ing a purpose of a particular character is a mere fulfillment 
of an office of the will or power of this almighty influence. 
A conversion of the jelly into all the organs of the creature 
is but a separation of the parts into objects or organs 
given device by the good controller. A proof of this is 
witbin reach, and it is to be given another good stare by a 
people when it is pointed to. 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 273 

The most astonishing disclosure of all in this work is 
the confirmation of a claim in a Bible that all creatures 
were actually spoken into existence by a Creator. A dec- 
laration of this character, unaccompanied by any explana- 
tion, is what was and now is giving all investigators a ■ 
subject for discussion, and a thing to defend or dis- 
pute. 

A settlement of the question is come, and it can be 
found in a consideration of a mere change of form of a 
caterpillar in a cover of consolidated gas, or in a conver- 
sion of a soul of a creature into a child in a womb, or of 
a plant soul into an animal in a creature's organ of gen- 
eration of offspring or in all instances of generation of 
life. A caterpillar is given a change by a decomposition 
of all its body, except what is wanted for a butterfly, and 
the gas of the balance, obtained by the decomposition, is 
given a consolidation into the organs of the butterfly a 
worm did not possess. A beautiful creature is thus con- 
structed. In a mass of jelly a decomposition of all that is 
not wanted in the animal is performed and the gas is 
converted into the organs the jelly does not possess. Of 
course no proof of a conversion of gas into actual organs 
of a creature can be given except by disclosing the fact that 
there is nothing else from which the portions of the organ 
not in the jelly is in the vicinity of the jelly, and by a 
reference to the caterpillar construction", and the bodies of 
all insects, and many mollusks. 

The same operation precisely as that operated in a 
jelly of a walnut's soul to create an oyster is given per- 
formance in the construction of a great creature from the 
jelly of a great plant. The only thing that assists in a 



274 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

greater construction of organs in the greater creature is the 
greater development of the greater plant. 

A still more astonishing fact is now to be offered. It 
is in the statement that an original creature was only a 
gas when given construction, and that no creature was 
ever anything more until a copulation of an animal of 
a certain degree of development with one of the same origin 
with a greater development was performed. This was the 
commencement of the process of growth, and a world was 
given its animals, as it is now given a portion of its 
insects, by a use of a gas, until a water was so much out 
of the atmosphere that a gas of hydrogen character could 
not be obtained in sufficient quantity to construct them. 

A complete destruction of a Darwin theory is in this 
fact, and the fact is as capable of proof as any given. 
"When a creature possessing a womb was created it was of 
a more delicate and developed character than the male, 
and it was given a capacity for bearing a fruit of its 
organization, and a means of obtaining a fruit. A plant 
of the species from which the male was given origin was 
simply more developed when a female was given construc- 
tion and, in fact, was so much developed that it bore a 
fruit. A copying only of the practice of the plant in 
bearing a fruit was given the female to perform in the 
bearing of offspring. 

A degrading conception of creation as taught by a 
school of investigators is to be given a dismissal if but 
this one fact can be comprehended. A perfect and all- 
sufficient disclosure of a cause of a female sex in all orders 
of living creatures is to be given by a careful considera- 
tion of what is here offered. A more delightful concep- 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 275 

tion of what was performed in giving a male animal, or, 
with reference to this fact, a male person also, is obtained 
when it is contemplated that a more delicate and refined 
form of a female was not only the consequence of a greater 
development of a plant that was the origin of both sexes of 
the order, but that an attachment for her was given the 
male by her superior development. What an astounding 
fact for a good and wise person to observe- — a preparation 
of a companion for a male animal or person by giving a 
more capacitated plant a development into a more beauti- 
ful creature or person than a male creature, and one that 
could attract by a superiority of construction a work of 
procreation from her more incapacitated companion. A 
startling and all-important fact is yet to be offered in this 
connection, and it is in a day to come to give a person a 
consideration of the superiority of the female sex. 

The wise and all-omnipotent power of the atmosphere 
called God is in every part of a world and with every order 
of living creatures absolutely favoring a female sex and 
performing a great amount of work for her. It is in the 
operation of giving her a means of controlling a more un- 
developed companion, and it is everywhere performed. A 
control is in the perception by the male order of a better 
mind in a female than is possessed by the male. A con- 
sciousness of a fact of this character is in every person's 
mind of both sexes, and it is only a shadow of a fact that 
is thus far obtained. The fact is disclosed only as fast as 
a male sex can make use of it and it is in this disclosure 
that a female person is given a perfect control of her own 
person in the whole of the world to a greater degree than 
would otherwise be possible. She is, as a rule, the con- 



276 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

broiler of her own virtue or chastity. A glimpse of the 
superior qualities of her organization on the mind of the 
male person is the ahasher of a dastard's lust. In what 
is now stated a glimpse can he had of a use of a current of 
the strange power called electricity in giving a world its 
creatures and it is hut a glimpse of the astonishing amount 
of its operations. A bare clue to a world of wonders of 
the grandest and most important nature. When a few 
competent minds are possessed of the clue a competent 
following of the evidence is to be made and all of the 
problem is to be given a disclosure of its actual facts. 

The most astonishing of the whole of the operations, 
is, perhaps, the construction of the soul of an organization. 
This work is to be given a consideration also, and Avhen it 
is, a glimpse is obtained of a construction of a world of 
what can be called spirit creations. 

A spirit of any natural organization is constructed by 
a lining of a cell of the organization while it is developing, 
a mere consolidation of a surface of a wbirling current of 
electricity in the cell of a plant, animal or human being. 
A protoplasm is this whirling current in a cell, and it was 
detected by a powerful microscope's assistance in a scientist's 
investigation. All that gives the current an observation, 
or rather all that discloses its existence and motion in the 
cell, is the roil it obtains by a decomposition of a speck 
of substance in the cell. The roil is wbirled by the cur- 
rent as a soil of earth is whirled in an eddy of water. 

This whirling is but to give decomposition to a 
speck of substance, and it is only a preparation of a greater 
current of electricity in the cell. When the speck is decom- 
posed a current of the power is given the cell from it, which 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 2^ 

increases the one already in it. The increase of the cur- 
rent causes a portion of it to be pressed out in the direc- 
tion of the streaming of all the current of the plant or 
creature, and when it is out the puff is converted into a cell 
at the surface of the one from which the current is dis- 
charged. The most convincing proof of this is an exam- 
ination of the operation only. It can be actually observed. 
Every bubble constructed on a fluid in a state of agitation 
is the same character of object as the cell in the plant or 
living organism, and it is constructed in the same way. 
A decomposition of a portion of the substance of the fluid 
furnishes the current that is converted into the bubble. 
The bubble could not be seen if it was not covered with 
vapor and it is only a glimpse of it that is obtained by the 
vapor's office. When sugar is boiled or agitated a bubble 
of considerable density is constructed and it will continue 
even months. 

Now while this whirling current is in operation the 
surface of it is given a consolidation, as a puff of the cur- 
rent is given a consolidation on the side of the cell. A 
soul of a cell is thus constructed. A whole soul of a plant 
or animal or person is the whole of such linings of cells. 
Every organ of the body not constructed of cells is given a 
soul of the same character by a covering of the specks of 
substance, as a lung or brain is shrouded by a membrane. 
A gland is constructed of the corpuscles of the blood that 
are pressed out of the fluid at sharp turns of the vessels, or 
at the ends of great ones. A corpuscle is but a cell of a 
plant or animal given the blood from the stomach when 
food of these substances is digested. Each of these corpus- 
les is given a lining as well as the cell in the fat or muscle 



278 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

When a close inspection of a cell or a gland or a bone 
or any part of a dead plant or creature or person is made, 
a discovery of the want of something in the cell or other 
part of the organization is existing. A hair is sure to dis- 
close it, and by its mere brackish character. A muscle 
will disclose it by a more rapid decomposition than is per- 
formed in one when a life is in the body. A collapse of 
the whole organization takes place after death of the 
organization, as soon as a soul is out of one. 

In a plant a soul departs only when the whole object 
is falling to pieces, and only as fast as it does fall to 
pieces. The soul of the portion that is decayed is but 
continuing its connection with the balance of the soul. 
This is a means of continuing a soul intact, and it is 
operated in all animals and human organizations. A 
separation of the soul cannot take place, and it is given 
demonstration in the pain and other feelings experienced 
in the place of a lost limb by a person. An animal 
cannot describe a similar feeling in its misfortune. 

A dog or cat or horse or, in fact, any creature, is 
as capable of having a consciousness of a soul of a part 
of the body giving pain or aggravation when it is in a con- 
dition that would have given the part pain when it was 
on the body. 

A grand procession is seen in this method of con- 
struction and perpetuation of a soul. A copy of the form 
of the soul giving object is given the atmosphere. A copy 
cannot be destroyed by anything but a current of the 
almighty and intelligent power of creation. All that 
prevents its destruction by fire or any decomposing 
influence is the protection of it by a current of electricity 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 279 

in the atmosphere. A most astonishing fact is in this 
care of a soul, and it is at once a work of a God who 
planned a soul. The same work is protecting it by a 
constant guardianship of it. A complete proof of the 
indestructibility of a soul of any organization is the 
fact that nitrogen gas, so-called, cannot be consumed by a 
fire or acid or any process. The gas is simply the objects 
described — the souls of plants and animals in the atmos- 
phere. 

What a splendid exhibition of an intelligent and 
almighty keeping of the final productions of creation! 
A God is a keeper. A keeper is a current of the wonderful 
power a bigot is claiming is a jump- jack performance of 
the molecules of a substance, or rather of metal. 

A chance to discover a protection from destruction 
by fire of a human soul is given in the good fact just 
offered. Of course if a soul can be burned at all it can all 
be burned. If it cannot burn at all it is not given pain. 
A pain in a limb that is only a soul of a part of a limb 
that was removed is but a sensation given it by the 
amount of current of the body that is coursing around it. 
This operation is but a process of teaching people an 
important fact. 

The destruction of animal species is but a consequence 
of a conversion of plants into a condition for bearing fruit ; 
in other words a conversion of some of the species into a 
condition of unfoldment that prevents any creature but 
a female of the species being given creation. A destruc- 
tion of the lower characters of the plants is a destruction 
of the male portion of species. 

This very wonderful fact is proved when a glance is 



28o CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

given the species whose female offspring are more numer- 
ous than the males. Only a few of the existing species 
disclose this consequence of a change in the orders of 
plants, but it is a most startling amount of facts all the 
same. A chance is given people to see what orders of plants 
are giving offspring to a certain species, by the amount of 
difference in the sexes of the species of creature. 

The birds are the most unequal in the two sexes, and 
snakes are next. All the earlier orders of creation are 
disclosing a disparity of sexes. The oldest are disclosing 
the greatest. 

A bare peep at the orders of animals that were given 
creation by the earliest orders of plants is all a person needs 
to obtain to observe the truth of the claim that a destruc- 
tion of the plant is the destruction of animal species. 
Beyond the fact that a development of plants produces a 
disparity of sexes a world is disclosing the fact that all 
animals are occupying a country to the same extent the 
plants are and in the same numbers. 

As certain as a plant or creation is existing a plant is 
always given a copying in the animal kingdom, and it can- 
not be found that a country contains any more of one 
kingdom than the other, or that domestic animals are 
more or less numerous than the great plants on the great 
deserts or prairies of a country. 

A comment is now in order concerning the origin of 
the domestic animals, and in this work a wisdom of crea- 
tion is disclosed as astonishing as any yet pointed to. 

The domestic creatures are all dwelling out of a for- 
est, and they are unwilling to dwell in one, and it is impos- 
sible to make them dwell in one. They will not go into 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 28 1 

one except for food. What could have given them a dis- 
position to dwell in a field where grass is growing? Dogs 
and cats can follow people into a wood but it is only 
while a person is in a wood that they will stay there. A 
dog was given origin on the border of a forest and so was 
a cat. Both creatures are apt to go to the border of a 
wood to hunt for prey, and then to come out. A plain of 
small extent was on the banks of the Ehine when a dog 
of great size was given creation. Another of smaller 
extent was existing on the coast of Ireland when a bull- 
dog was constructed. Both creatures were given exist- 
ence from a spruce, and the spindles of the plant are sticking 
in the skin of the dog yet. One was stuck in the corner of 
the upper jaw of the creature, along the bone of the nose, 
and it is as flat and stiff as the original. When the ani- 
mal was decaying a person was constructed from its soul. 
A mastiff is to-day in human form giving all Europe a 
stare, and controlling in a measure all its politics. A 
lopped ear is all that is needed on his head for a perfect 
copy of the features of the great dog. All the pure- 
blooded Anglo-Saxons were mastiffs in human form and 
every person showed the fact and was glad of it. One is 
delighted to-day with a good copy of the dog in all the 
features of the head, and when they are possessed, all the 
associates of the person are giving him or her a con- 
fidence and consideration. 

A bull-dog on two legs is walking the same plain that 
gave the one of four legs a commencement of existence and 
one is to walk it as long as a fully-fledged Irishman is on 
the soil. A most perfect copy is this person, of the ugly 
and quarrelsome creature. The dog is only a spruce of

less development than the one that was affording the mas- 
tiff, and in respect to spindles and color there is no differ- 
ence; only a change of climate and food gave either a 
change of color and hair, and a change was a step in the 
way of degradation. All of the changes of animals are 
but a degradation of the species. 

A greater growth only of the useful domestic animals 
is possible by a change of eating and giving them a shelter 
in cold weather. The stock is actually degraded by the 
work, and it is given demonstration by the fact that a 
more stupid and docile creature is produced from the cult- 
ure. In the course of a century the degradation is com- 
menced in the size of the creatures, and in all old coun- 
tries this is now to be seen. The horses of the old coun- 
tries are small and more feeble in all respects and a change 
Df variety is made in order to prevent a larger cultivation 
of the degraded variety. The fact is surprisingly illustrated 
in the condition of the horses in the rural portions of New 
England. A stallion is of great importance when it is 
known that a wholly different development of a horse can 
be obtained if the male creature is of a more uncultivated 
variety. 

With respect to origin of the bovine order and all the 
smaller domestic creatures upon a farm, and the commence- 
ment of the horse, it is but necessary to disclose the 
astonishing fact that a plain of sporadic plants of different 
species gave all of them origin. A grass was around the 
origin, and it is still being grazed by the animal. 

A grass of small plants was necessary for the sub- 
sistance of the creatures, and it is, of course, a fact that 
it was growing when the creatures were brought into exist- 



CAUSE AND CURE OE DISEASE. 283 

ence. A grazing animal would have perished had it not 
heen able to graze to obtain its proper food. Grass is not 
growing in a forest, except on its skirts for a small extent, 
and this skirt is but a commencement of the plain. 

The whole of the famous Darwin theory is given 
another explosion by this most obtainable of all sweeping 
facts, concerning animal origin. When it is but thought 
of, a contradiction of the fact is given a defeat. 

On the cow there is the willow's weeping branch, and 
a division of the boughs upon the neck. A channel of cir- 
culation is large in the creature, and a great quantity of 
blood and milk is the consequence. The animal wants 
a great quantity of water, and it will stand and swing 
its head and drooping branch for hours in the very shade 
and on the same damp soil of its origin. 

The horse is but the great pine given a better con- 
version than in the alligator or crocodile, and for a bet- 
ter purpose tban giving fish and turtles a destruction. 
The difference in the development of the two creatures 
is but a difference in amount of change. In some respects 
there is a resemblance, and it is barely enough to give a 
squint at a common origin of both. The long jaws of the 
•animals are in a measure alike, and the eyes also. A dap- 
ple is given the sides of the horse in place of the bunches 
of bark on the reptile. The bodies of each are very similar 
in form. The nostrils are of similar obliquity. The 
whole of the bones of the legs are alike in some respects. 

A pine's bough is on the horse in the mane and tail. 
Both flare at the atmosphere when there is a wind as the 
pretty bough of the plant did. A snort is offered the plain 
by the animal as a top of the old pine gave one in a wind

of violence. A hoof is but a bough spread, as when a hand 
is pressed upon one side, except that it is all connected 
in its construction. 

The goat and sheep are but little different and both 
are but the evergreen of a stunted growth given a cover 01 
thick and fine spindles. A sheep is about the size of the 
plant that was dotting a plain when the creature came into 
existence. A grand and beautiful species is the creature, 
and it is so good and inoffensive a child always loves it. 
The face of one is occasionally given the community on a 
person, and when it is the possessor has a sweet disposition 
and love for every one. It is always a pretty face. If it is on 
a male person the owner is but a good and kind servant of 
a greater intellect, and one that is always wanting a 
watching in respect to his moral practices. 

A worn-out barbarity of old nations of castrating 
the servants of a household, was given a most extensive 
practice where goats were giving the origin of most of the 
male population. A goat of the male sex is as sensual as 
a creature can be. A female of the species is wholly dif- 
ferent and wants a male companion only for offspring. A 
human female given creation from the soul of a sheep or 
goat is always a sweet and beautiful woman, and she is as 
kind and affectionate as an angel. 

A goat is about extinguished and is to be superseded 
by the sheep everywhere. A wool on a sheep is the cause 
of one order being destroyed and the other cultivated. 

A closing of this chapter can be made when a few 
moments of consideration of the feathered animals is 
given. 

A bird is but a bush of blossoms, or a blossom only, 



CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 285 

in a higher degree of development. The creature is but a 
poorly developed animal, and it possesses only a portion 
of a skeleton and but a small amount of digestive faculties. 
The most wonderful problem of the construction of a cover- 
ing for all creatures is given solution by barely observ- 
ing the difference in the powers of digestion of the differ- 
ent orders. All are covered by a discharge of substance 
from the pores of the body, and the substance is the same 
in all. The most capacitated digestion gives the finest 
character of hair, and in this simple statement of an 
astonishing fact is all that need be stated of an explana- 
tion of the growth or rather the construction of the cover- 
ings of all creatures. An elephant and rhinoceros and 
hippopotamus, and a species of hog, and a few small 
creatures of hot climates are given a melted, or rather a 
continuation of the liquid condition of the substance dis- 
charged on their bodies until a consolidation occurs and 
the consequence is a rind instead of hair. The substance 
is giving the limbs and sides of the greater creatures an 
avalanche of its quantity, and the sliding down of the 
substance gives the great plates of welted rind on the 
creatures. Only a warm atmosphere causes this. The 
substance cannot be constructed in the form of hair on 
account of its mobile condition produced by heat. An 
elephant, as well as all other quadrupeds, was given hair in 
cold climates, and the fact is well known. 

A sheep is possessed of wool on account of a very 
complete digestion, and it is a grand character of hair. 
A farmer can give all his sheep a finer wool by feeding 
them on the grains in winter and on only fresh and perfectly 
green grass in summer. The only cause of a finer wool 



286 CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE. 

on a merino than is on a common American sheep is the 
constant feeding of the merinos of some countries and in all 
parts of Europe with a grain or fresh grass of elevated 
places. All sheep are of one origin, and only a better 
food and clearer air gives a better wool. The consequence 
of the operation of better digestion is the degradation of 
the animal. All fine wool sheep disclose their degradation 
in a stunted and more awkward form. 

Let this disclosure of the cause of a fine wool or the 
coarser hair and the rind of the tropical animals and the 
feathers on a bird be given consideration in connection 
with a theory all scientists are accepting concerning the 
cause of a growth of all these things on the animals of the 
world. This theory of a world of scientists is a claim that 
only an environment of a creature and a change of cli- 
mate were the causes of different coverings of creatures. 
The claim is soon to be forgotten, except its absurdity, 
and the fact that it was the most degrading and ground- 
less of all opinions since a school was established in the 
world. 

This is all a work of this character permits of a con- 
sideration of animal species. A complete discussion of the 
subject would disclose a vast amount of perfectly demon- 
strable facts in support of the claim given, and a word 
of it would never be given a denial. A grand chapter of 
science is the one that discloses a complete order of opera- 
tions that have been and are to-day giving the earth its 
wonderful creatures, but a work of this character forbids 
its presentation here. When a work upon the wonders of 
what are called chemical phenomena and affairs is offered
